Seniors to receive Bibles

0 comments

By Lynsi Musselman

The Albany High School Class of 2020 senior Bible presentation, hosted by First Baptist Church for decades, will take place as a part of the Baccalaureate service on Sunday, May 17 at 8:00 p.m., at Robert Nail Memorial Stadium.

The event usually takes place separately the week before Baccalaureate but is being combined this year to limit exposure due to COVID-19 concerns.

First Baptist Church youth minister Campbell Terry said he will deliver a short message, and then First Baptist Church pastor Jeff Turner will present the Bibles.

Terry noted the compli-mentary Bibles will be wiped down and placed in the seniors’ seats prior to the ceremony to avoid any extra contact.

Terry said there is traditionally a coke float party after the presentation. This year, ice cream and cans of coke will be placed on a table for individuals to pick up at a safe distance. 

“We are determined to give this opportunity to the kids leaving AHS who have lost out on so much,” Terry said. “This is the social distancing version.”

The Bible presentation and Baccalaureate are limited to the graduating seniors and their allotted family members.
