From The Mothering From The Heart Facebook Page –
The day has been set!! Coming on Saturday, June 14th….Refreshing the Heart for Mothers (with special application for moms who’ve taken on the task of educating their children at home)! I want to encourage the hearts of moms who are in the thick of some of the busiest years of your life – for those times when you just want to plop on the couch and sleep for days, times when you just want to finish a sentence, times when you feel like you don’t know what in the world you’re doing and you wonder if it really matters anyway, times when you just need to be refreshed. Well, that’s exactly what this Saturday in June is for. We will look to God to refresh our hearts. God’s grace is sufficient, He is there, He will help, He will strongly support you . . . continue to watch for details ….

Ray Moore for Lt. Governor


FYI

From Lawson Mansell –

Pastor Carl introduced Mr. Moore on Sunday during service and he has been a featured speaker at CHEC (Coastal Home Educators Conference) at CBC.

Lawson Mansell talked with him on Sunday and he specifically asked him to try to send an email out to the CBC homeschool community.

Ray Moore (Chaplain, Lt. Col. USAR Ret.) is a South Carolina native and graduate of The Citadel and Grace Theological Seminary. He has served for over 35 years in pastoral ministry or as a director of a Christian organization. This includes 19 years of service as a Chaplain in the Army Reserve, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his role in Gulf War I.

He has been active as a campaign consultant for several major political campaigns. Ray is passionate about homeschooling and is the only candidate in the race with serious military background. He was the executive producer of the movie “IndoctriNation”, which goes through the evils of public education and why children should be taught a biblical worldview. He is also the directer of the Exodus Mandate project. You can read more about Ray at http://raymooresc.com/ and also watch a speech he recently gave in Charleston summarizing where he stands on the current state of the nation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBvxEalMvg8

FYI When shopping at Publix & Target Magazine Placement

FYI When shopping at Publix & Target

From Christine F. –

 I just had a sad experience at Publix –  but was the exact same experience I had at Target over a month ago. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Anniversary Edition is being sold right beside the candy at the checkout counter. Although I know we can not keep our kids out of the world I was shocked with the placement of the extremely provocative magazine.

I asked the manager in Target if she thought it was ok and she said it was something you would “see at the beach”. I don’t know about you but I don’t see thong bathing suits at the beach.

I just thought I would pass this on because it really caught me off guard and I would hate for it to do the same to others. Although I don’t buy those magazines, I understand businesses have the right to sell their products I think the placement was a poor judgement call, whoever made the decision, and will be praying for everyone who will be affected as a result. 

Book Blast Coming June 13th

BOOK Blast

The Book Blast is a non-profit, volunteer used curriculum sale held at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, SC. You do not need to be a member of Community Bible Church or of CBCCA in order to be a Book Blast participant. It is free to participate, but you must register.  If you wish to sell, there is a $5 fee.

The Book Blast will run on Friday, June 13, from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.

How do I become a seller?

After you register for the conference you can click here to register as a seller.  You are not required to register to start entering your items online, but you will not be an official seller until you have registered for the Book Blast.

The last day for people to enter items into the Book Blast system is Tuesday, June 10th at midnight.

What can I sell at the Book Blast?

Our focus is on curriculum.  In addition, readers of all kinds, manipulatives, science stuff and educational supplemental materials.  Bibles, devotionals and educational aids are also welcome.

Please keep in mind this is not a yard sale, but a place to sell the kind of things YOU will be looking for to use in your own homeschool next year.

Our mission is to encourage all homeschoolers, but keep in mind we are a Christian homeschooling group.  We will not be able to sell items that conflict with our Christian values.  Please use discretion.

What are the selling instructions?

After you are registered as a seller, books and materials must be properly labeled.  We have two methods for labeling items:

Bar Coding Labeling

This system enables sellers to easily track sales.  It also streamlines the sale for buyers and sellers.  Added bonus?  You will get your money back much more quickly!

CHEC Book Blast Instructions 2014

Manual Labeling

You may also manually label your books.  There is an additional 10% processing fee for using the manual system.

Click here for Manual Labeling Instructions

When do I drop off my books?

Thursday, June 12 from 1:00 – 7:00 pm, at the start of the Intro to Homeschooling Seminar.

Where do I drop off my books?

You must use the SIDE ENTRANCE of the CBC Children’s Building.  (The doors under the awning.)  We will have signs directing you.

Do not enter through the front entrance, back of the building or the Atrium.

What do I need to bring with me to the book drop off?

  • Properly labeled books.
  • If you are bar-coding – your inventory list.
  • You should be already registered for the book blast 2014.  If you are not registered, you will need to fill out a registration form.
  • $5.00 seller fee.
  • Self-Addressed, stamped envelope so that we can mail you your check.

What happens to my books after the sale?

Please plan to pick up your unsold books after the sale between 4:00 – 6:00 pm.

We have no place to store unsold books.  Make arrangements with a friend or come yourself to get your unsold books.  It will be your responsibility to check and see if you have books left over.

Items not picked up by Friday, June 13th at 6:00 pm will be donated.

What if I have stuff I want to give away?

We will have an area for free items in a separate room.  You may leave free items in the designated spot at the registration desk.  Please separate your free items from items your selling and clearly label them FREE.

What if I have more questions?

Call May at 575-2309 or email may@tonyandmay.com
