Roots Hold Me Close, Wings Set Me Free

 The transition from youth to young adulthood is both joyful and bittersweet: a time of letting go without becoming untethered, gaining independence without losing connection. As young adults move toward wider horizons, the people, places, values, and lessons that have shaped them can continue to guide them. This Sunday, as we celebrate our Bridging Ceremony, we will reflect on how roots and wings work together, helping young adults become free without becoming alone.
