Of all the “holidays” one could choose to observe, today’s is uniquely worthwhile: it’s National Donate a Book Day! Going through your books and creating a donation pile is a great way to practice letting go of things you don’t need anymore. It also presents an opportunity to talk about with your kids about where their books will go next and who they will help – and to that end, there are so many options we’d like to share with you!

Look to the sky tomorrow, and you’re in for a treat: there will be a total solar eclipse that is visible, at least in part, across most of the United States.

In Sunday School, we talk about how the sadness and joy of Easter cannot be separated. They are both a part of this day, but we can choose what to focus on at a given time. And if your family is looking for a way to embrace the joy of Easter, you can create your own photo booth!

Palm Sunday is a joyous celebration of Jesus’s triumphant return to Jerusalem, in contrast to the mixture of emotions in the events to come. You can bring some of the excitement and anticipation into your home by acting out the story with your family!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The roots of this holiday go back hundreds of years, but much of its meaning has been lost over time. This year, don’t just celebrate Irish culture – celebrate the spirit of the day!
