PARENTS: Our goal is to help your Primary child become anchored in the scriptures. The scriptures contain the word of God. As we read the scriptures, we learn to love them. We learn to love the Lord. We learn what He would have us do... (Cheryl C. Lant, Anchored in the Scriptures, open house address, Sept. 2005). Please join us in this challenge to help your Primary child read, understand, and feel the Spirit of the scriptures. Your child may count anything read alone or with anyone in the family (e.g. during family home evening, family scripture study, etc.). While we see this activity as a way to ignite a desire to read the scriptures, we hope that you will become involved by helping them understand the scripture stories and teachings, answer questions, and recognize the Spirit.
