All community members are invited to attend in support of this year’s graduating class. Although baccalaureate services are held for graduating classes from high schools and colleges around the world people frequently misunderstand or simply do not know the purpose of baccalaureate services and of their significant history in our nation.
We would like to share a little about them now, as a part of our invitation for you to attend.
The Baccalaureate Service has been one piece of the graduation “rite of passage” since the 15th century. The service is for the graduates but, it is very different from a graduation ceremony.
Graduation is essentially an ending, it marks the end of a particular course of study, in this case high school.
Baccalaureate is a beginning, it is the sending forth of the graduate with the blessing of their community.
Graduation is an academic achievement.
Baccalaureate is a moral challenge.
It brings to mind the words of George Washington, “Happiness and moral duty are inseparable.” This service is meant to charge the graduates to forge the way into the future – not resting on their laurels but advancing a life dedicated to learning, wisdom and morality to find the happiness President Washington spoke of.
For the first several hundred years the service was presented in Latin to testify to the erudition of the graduates; those who attend this year will be pleased to note that the service will be in English.
UCP is located at 745 N. Brush St. in Lakeport. The service will begin at 6 p.m. and conclude by 7 p.m. All are welcome.

Women such as Julia Ward Howe, author of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and Ann Jarvis, mother of the woman who pursued federal recognition of Mother’s Day as a holiday, were two of the founders of this holiday, though they themselves would not likely have characterized it this way.
What they did that was so extraordinary was gather mothers from both the United States and the Confederacy and unite them in common cause during a time of terrible pain and division in our nation.
They hosted Mother’s Work Days and Mother’s Friendship Days to recognize that mothers shared a bond deeper than wartime battle lines.
To learn more about their work you are invited to United Christian Parish (UCP) on Mother’s Day at either 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.
In honor of your own mother, you are invited to wear a red flower (or button) if your mother is deceased or a white flower (or button) if she is living. More about this tradition also will be explained.
UCP is located at 745 N Brush St. in Lakeport.
For more details please call 707-263-4788 or visit the church's Web site at www.LakeportUCP.org.
