On Saturday, August 19, Open Door Mission (www.opendoormission.org) celebrated New Life with 16 graduates. The ceremony took place at the Garland Thompson Men’s Center Chapel in Omaha. These men and women will receive Certificates of Completion during a cap and gown ceremony. For most, it was the first time they had experienced a cap and gown graduation. After the service, a reception honoring the graduates and their families was held.
