Baccalaureate 2015

The first event of PIU graduation weekend 2015 was the Baccalaureate at Bayview Church on Friday night May 1st. The baccalaureate is traditionally planned by the graduating class. Our seven graduates did a great job this year. The speakers were good and I think everyone who was there was blessed. We also enjoyed a good time of food and fellowship afterward. What a good-looking group of graduates!!
