Grace and Mercy will hold its 11th graduation next month, honoring women who have completed the program and marking another milestone for the organization.
Board Chairman Paula Halcomb says this year’s graduation is about more than numbers — it’s about community and presence.
This year’s class includes six graduates — bringing the total number of women who’ve completed the program to 84 over the past 11 years.
The program itself has grown, now lasting up to 18 months or more.
Grace and Mercy Board Member Ceara Davis says the graduation is the culmination of a long transformation — one she knows personally.
Davis graduated from Grace and Mercy in 2018 and now serves on the board.
Graduates can also stay connected through the alumni aftercare program.
This year’s graduation theme is Love Thy Neighbor, and seating is limited for in-person attendance.
Registration for both in-person and livestream viewing is available on the Grace and Mercy website.
The graduation also serves as Grace and Mercy’s largest fundraiser of the year.
Donations can be made online or by mail, and Halcomb says there’s even a Valentine’s Day option.
Graduation begins February 19th at 6 p.m., followed by refreshments and fellowship.
