On the Sabbath of June 24 the Oakland, California, congregation began a program intended to encourage our young people as they accomplish a hallmark of their lives.

Pastor Jim Tuck presented a New King James Bible to Amiel Maquilan and Gregory Rorem in recognition of their graduation from high school, with encouragement to utilize the knowledge God has revealed within its pages for a full and rich life.

A potluck luncheon with a special cake followed after Sabbath services, and brethren took the opportunity to congratulate them.
