Does anyone have a violin bow that we could buy or have?

Brooke is looking to start playing violin and Brittany has given her, her old violin… but we need a bow. If anyone has one that they don’t need or could sell me one for a reasonable price I would most appreciate it. Thanks Charlotte Cushman 843-592-1502 or charlottecushman@gmail.com

Building Faith Families

The Coastal Home Educators Conference is June 13th-15th at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, SC.

Are you interested in homeschooling, but overwhelmed by all the information out there? We believe that God has given us the ability to teach and train our own children. We hope to encourage you that He will enable you to do the same. Our goal is to raise children who will grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Our heart is for our kids to love Christ and show His love to others. The academics are important, but secondary to the character of our children’s hearts.

CHEC is a ministry of Community Bible Church Christian Academy and exists to encourage homeschoolers in the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia. This non-profit, volunteer-run conference is geared to every-day families who would like to educate their children at home. Our heart is to reach out to our community and offer resources, encouragement and help to those who homeschool or who are interested in homeschooling.

After successfully holding book sales for several years, God put it on our hearts to try having speakers to help homeschoolers renew and refocus for the new homeschooling year. This is our sixth conference and we are excited about what God has planned for the future.

This year our conference includes – Steve Demme of Building Faith Families and founder of Math-U-See – Keynote * Intro to Homeschooling – Dr. Carl Broggi * Constitution Class – Bob Menges * Featured Speaker – Tim Bryant * and many other Workshops! BOOK Blast – Used Curriculum Sale * Vendor Hall – New Curriculum Sales * Come and see for yourself!  Register today at –  http://checonference.com/registration/!

Another CHEC Buck drawing for everyone registered by Wednesday @ midnight!
