“Come, Follow Me”

Dear Parents, We invite your family to participate in our summer reading program. Our theme is “Come Unto Christ,” and for six weeks we will read and learn more about our Savior from the scriptures. Attached is a list of the reading assignments, the dates we will be studying them and scripture references. We encourage you to help your child participate with us by reading the scriptures together. Elder Neil L. Andersen, in the April 2010 General Conference, said the following, “In our world today, each child, each young man and young woman needs his or her own conversion to the truth. Each needs his or her own light, his or her own “steadfast and immovable” faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, independent of parents, youth leaders, and supportive friends. The stories of Jesus can be like a rushing wind across the embers of faith in the hearts of our children. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The stories of Jesus shared over and over bring faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strength to the foundation of testimony. Can you think of a more valuable gift for our children?”

It is our goal to help the children know their Savior, Jesus Christ, by teaching them the stories of Jesus. Our sharing times for the next 6 weeks will be intertwined with the readings and the children will have the opportunity to experience these stories both at home and in Primary. We hope this will be a wonderful experience for your family. Love, The Louisville Ward Primary Presidency Carolyn Thompson Leanne Wilsted Jan Fanger Karen Layman
