April 2012 Meeting

Are you struggling with life right now?

Maybe you're struggling with unemployment, as so many of us are.


Maybe you're dealing with a major illness in the family.


Maybe you're taking care of an ailing parent (or two).


Maybe your marriage is struggling.


Maybe you're planning a cross country move.

Homeschooling is difficult even in the best of times, but throw in some of the above issues and your homeschool can be quickly derailed.  Sometimes in the midst of life's struggles, we find ourselves longingly watching the school bus drive by.  We feel guilty for letting school "slide" while dealing with more pressing matters.  We wonder why we chose this path and how will we ever see it through?  If you've ever struggled with keeping it all together, this message is for YOU!

Join us Saturday, April 14th for a powerful message from our own Christine Bullock on Homeschooling Through Hardships.  Christine is a homeschool mom of four and a former high school teacher.  She has homeschooled from the beginning and graduated one last year.  She has been through many of life's ups and downs and will be sharing her wisdom with us on how to get through the hard times.

Who: Christine Bullock
What: Homeschooling Through Hardship
Where: Norkenzie Christian Church (see address/map on right sidebar)
When: Saturday April 14th, 9:30am - 11:30am
No cost for LIGHT members (including EFC members); non-members $5

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!


The fine print:  


LIGHT meetings are open to all homeschool families.  We offer one complementary meeting, so please come to a meeting and check it out, we're sure you'll want to be a member!  If after your first meeting*, you choose not to become a member, subsequent meetings will be $5.  If you choose to become a member in the future*, any $5 fee's you have paid will be applied to your membership fee.  We have some scholarships available, please see a board member for more information.
*During the current school year.


The majority of our meetings are geared towards mom and are, therefore rather boring for children.  Due to liability issues, LIGHT cannot provide childcare, so we encourage you to try and find it elsewhere.  If you need to bring your children, though, they are welcome.  However, they will not be allowed to leave the meeting room.  Norkenzie Christian Church has graciously allowed LIGHT to meet in it's facility and we have adopted the policy of leaving the building in better condition than we found it.  Therefore we need to contain our activities to the Fireside Room.  So, please bring a quiet activity for them to do off to one side so that they do not disrupt the meeting.
