ETBU Recognizes Graduating Seniors During Ring Blessing Ceremony East Texas Baptist University honored 72 graduating seniors with the presentation of their official ETBU Class Ring. The Ring Blessing was held Monday, November 9, for the December graduates of 2020. Inspired by Deuteronomy 6, the ETBU Ring allows ETBU Alumni to carry and display the love of Christ through the ETBU Ring tradition. “Students, you will be challenged to live out your faith while you wear this ring,” ETBU President J. Blair Blackburn said. “This symbol on your hand is a reminder of your Christcentered educational experience at ETBU, and hopefully, you will use it to create conversations with other people about what faith in Jesus means, and what your ETBU experience meant to you. We are proud of you, we celebrate you, and we are thankful for what God has done and what He will do in your lives.” Read more.
