October

Another busy month is upon us. Please remember to check the October calendar for this month's events. If there is anything missing, please contact the webmaster. Thanks!

Monthly Meetings

Please see the calendar on the right for the monthly meetings location and times. This month it is Monday, September 28th at 7:00 - 9:00 13448 Hwy #48 just south of Bloomington.

RECITAL TEA

Recital Tea is a yearly event at the home of Jean Rance's in Queensville. The children have a wonderful time presenting their projects, music, poetry, book reports, etc. to each other. This activity builds confidence in the children and public speaking skills. Each family brings a snack to share afterwards and the adults enjoy fellowship while the children get to know one another in an informal atmosphere of play.

I have posted this activity on the Calendar at the right of this posting for the third Friday of each month at 1:30 except January it falls on the 4th Friday.

Calendar Updates

I have been slowly adding the field trips to the Calendar on the right of this blog. Also posted on this calendar are:

# dates for the Charlotte Mason Support Group meetings at Cori Dean's home and the Mom's Night group meetings at Patricia Rider's home.

# dates for Teen Co-op at Joanne Gray's home

Conference Schedule Continued...

October 3rd-4th - Deconstructing Darwin
Location:
Westminster Chapel and the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity, 14 Dewhurst Blvd., Toronto

Web: deconstructingdarwin.com

Atheist groups around the world are gearing up for 2009, to celebrate Charles Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of his book Origin of Species-a book that has caused millions to doubt the authority of Scripture. To prepare for the inevitable barrage of evolutionary propaganda throughout 2009, Creation Ministries International (CMI) Canada (in conjunction with CMI worldwide) has launched its own national campaign: 'Deconstructing Darwin.' These conferences, happening all over the country, are designed specifically to equip Christians with answers to questions that skeptics pose to refute the authority of scripture and attack the Christian faith.
