Today we celebrate Family Literacy Day, recognizing the important role families play in nurturing a love of reading, learning, and faith.
As the first teachers of their children, families help form hearts and minds through stories, conversation, and prayer. May we continue to grow together in wisdom, imagination, and in the Word of God.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” — Colossians 3:16
