September 6 is National Read a Book Day and the Northwestern Ohio Synod staff wants to help you celebrate!
We challenge you to make today the day that you finish that book that’s been sitting on your shelf for months, or to start the book that you’ve been putting off!
Need some help finding a good book? Some of our staff members have made some recommendations to help you have a great “National Read a Book Day”.
Happy reading!
