A Season to Celebrate!

Our first class of seniors are graduating next Saturday which calls for an epic celebration! We have 25 kids who received mentors in the 4th grade who are either graduating from high school or receiving their diploma over the course of the summer. This means they have mentors who started walking with them 8 years ago and have watched them grow from silly little kids into intelligent young men and women. We had a sweet time honoring them at our graduation celebration last Saturday at Mercy Street.

Uncle Bill and his two students: Larry and Broddrion

We're getting excited about the LeCrae concert at Mercy Street on July 16! He is one of the best hip hop artists in the world, and he is coming to do a concert exclusively for Mercy Street students and mentors. His sole purpose is to bless us and pour into us. It's going to be riveting! You and your student won't want to miss it. Enjoy a little taste of LeCrae in the mean time:  

Johnny will also be leading our Summer Work Crew again this summer if your student is interested in a job at Mercy Street. There are only 12 slots available, so we reserve the spots for those students who have demonstrated leadership qualities throughout the years. If you think this might be a good fit for your student, then contact Johnny, Carlton, or Julie for more information.
