In this episode, Ben, John Paul, and Julie talk about how to serve families of 12th graders well during this season. With the uncertainty of graduations, proms, and many milestones seniors could be missing out on, there is a great opportunity to serve and pastor well the families of seniors during this season.

Show Notes and Quotes:

This very unique moment needs to cause us in student ministry to ask the question, what can I do to make this last month and a half for seniors in my ministry really special because many will be missing out on milestone moments. 


Helping seniors still have some milestone moments can be an incredible connection point between you and the seniors in your ministry.  


There are unique pastoral moments towards the parents of seniors that could be missed if we do not spend time serving these families well during this time.
