Building Healthy Families: “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.” We at Lutheran Family Service affirm this quote from Billy Graham as we recognize the incredibly vital role fathers play in the lives of their children and families. Fathers are needed by their children, and by their children’s mother! On this special day when we celebrate Fathers, notice and thank the men you know who are leading their families through these challenging days. God bless our fathers, today and always! www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service
