President Trump: America Reads The Bible

This week, I send my best wishes to every citizen gathered at the Museum of the Bible, on the National Mall, and all across our country participating in America Reads the Bible, a historic initiative in which nearly 500 Americans will take part in a public reading, over the course of one week, of the entire Bible—from Genesis to Revelation—to celebrate 250 years of the Bible in America.

From Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World and the first permanent English-speaking settlement at Jamestown to our founding in 1776 and to the present day, the Bible has been indelibly woven into our national identity and way of life.  Nearly 400 years ago, a decade after the arrival of the Mayflower, the legendary John Winthrop powerfully invoked Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew:  “We must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill.  The eyes of all people are upon us,” Winthrop said, imploring his fellow Christian settlers to stand as a beacon of faith for all the world to see.

Mural Created by High School Students to be Unveiled at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital

DATE: Tuesday, April 21, 2026

TIME: Noon to 1:00 pm

PLACE: Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital 3rd Floor, Area B:  2201 Chapel Ave West, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

BACKGROUND:

On Tuesday, April 21, from noon to 1:00 pm, Jefferson Health Cherry Hill Hospital will host art students and teachers from Cherry Hill High School West for an unveiling & luncheon to celebrate the completion of the students’ multi-medium waiting room mural which the students began in September 2025.

The mural, which wraps around three walls of a 3rd floor waiting room on Jefferson’s campus,   measures 50 feet x 8 feet, and uses mediums such as acrylic paint, glass mosaics, ceramic tile and photo paper to depict seasonal scenes representative of the New Jersey and Philadelphia region.

The idea for Jefferson’s collaboration with the Cherry Hill High West art students came from Rory Levinson, a nurse manager. As the waiting room doesn’t have windows, Levinson wanted to create a more engaging, comfortable room for patients and visitors to relax in by “bringing the outside in.”
