Graduation Weekend!

Tonight (Friday), Scott and the rest of his graduating class of 25 MDiv Students were commissioned- that means that they were formally dedicated to God's Work. It was a very exciting event! First we had a dinner to which Scott and I, Mom and Dad Kohler, and Scott's bro Graeme and wife Jen (who's expecting their 3rd!) came. We had a nice meal, a yummy dessert, a short program, and then each graduand received an Acadia alumni pin.

After that we went to Wolfville Baptist Chruch down the hill and there was a formal comissioning service at which our fave proff Jonathan Wilson spoke (and it was awesome!!!) about delighting in God, and going out to preach God's good news of hope in Jesus Christ, and making disciples of Jesus- knowing God is with you all the time. Then one of the other proffs- Loinel Moriah prayed for the grads while staff/supervisors/mentors of them gathered around and laid hands on them while they were commisioned to the work of the Kingdom of God. Our pastor John was there, and it was awesome that some Kentville Baptist people came, too!

Scottie, we are VERY proud of you, and I know how hard you've worked to get to this point (and so do your parents!). We love you very much- congratulations!!
