This last Sabbath, JBP was promoted to the next level of Sabbath School. In our church, the Sabbath School classes are separated by grade completed, not age, and promotions are only done twice a year, once in July and once in January.
Since JBP completed 1st grade this last school year, he was promoted from the Kindergarten to Primary Class.
I had told him it was going to happen, but that we were going to miss the actual promotion ceremony while we were at the family reunion in Colorado. So, he'd been shrugging the whole thing off, pretending it didn't mean anything to him.
Well, at the end of the church service this last Sabbath, Surprise! Surprise!
Turns out too many of the kids being promoted had missed the weekend we missed. So, they'd delayed the promotion ceremony.
JBP was tickled pink to be called up to the front of the sanctuary to receive his promotion certificate along with all the others. He jumped out of his seat and grinned from ear to ear the entire time! Then, after church he scampered off quite happily to Primary class.
