Preparing for Baccalaureate

We had a wonderful rehearsal this afternoon for the 2017 Baccalaureate Service, a significant part of our Commencement weekend. Baccalaureate will take place tomorrow evening, May 19, just minutes from campus at Haygood United Methodist Church (4713 Haygood Rd., Virginia Beach). Dr. Bryson Mortensen will lead the Virginia Wesleyan Chorale in a preludial concert at 5:30 p.m., and the service will begin at 6:00 p.m. Serving as the Baccalaureate speaker will be Rev. Susan Pendleton Jones, a 1980 VWC graduate and senior fellow of the Institute for Faith and Learning at Baylor University. New this year will be the Presentation of Tassels, at which time graduating seniors will come forward to accept their academic tassel for use during the Commencement Ceremony. Professor Terry Lindvall will deliver the invocation. Looking forward to seeing the Class of 2017, their families, friends and guests!
