Building Healthy Families: It is a challenging time to be a parent, perhaps especially a father. Our culture takes every opportunity to malign fathers, and popular media often goes out of its way to portray them as undependable, immature, and ineffective. Yet an endless stream of research (not to mention God’s Word and our own life experience) clearly identifies the vital role of fathers in the lives of their children. Fathers, don’t give up! Take heart and persevere – you are not alone! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9) Happy Father’s Day- You are appreciated and so greatly loved! Lutheran Family Service  www. LutheranFamilyService.org
