This year’s National Gathering for Graduates was held under the theme “Linen and Shadows”, where we explored how each of us is called to live a holy life — clothed in “fine linen” in Christ. This year we spoke about what it means to live in the light as disciples of Christ, but also how to be light in the darkness and to have the courage to stay close to those who do not yet believe — not risking losing our faith, but winning friends for God’s Kingdom.

Graduates and working students shared the following reflections about the weekend we spent together:
“It was a blessed time, and I thank God that I had the opportunity to experience it.”
“This was my first time at such a national gathering. I had the chance to meet new people and create new friendships. The BCSU movement is worth it for every new student, and I’m thankful that 2–3 years ago I was invited in Plovdiv and started gathering with people my age. Give yourself a chance and try it! God bless you!”
