Heart: Home Educators Annual Retreat 20-22 June 2014
Just beginning your homeschooling journey? “What curriculum should I go with?” “Socialisation- what’s that?” “How many extra curricular activities should my child do per week?”
Or have you been working hard on the journey for a long time now? “How is my marriage in all of this business?” “Teaching my 4th child to read- I just don’t know if I can be enthusiastic this time?”
Whatever stage you’re at, it is such a comfort and joy to know that our loving God promises to be with us every step of the way. Come away from the busy-ness. Join us for a refreshing weekend and gain a fresh perspective as we remind each other of the comfort and strength we can have in knowing God’s presence.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
