Nursing Home Ministry Opportunity

From Erica –

Are you looking for an opportunity for family ministry?? There are a few families in the Bluffton area who visit the NHC nursing home (off of 170)every 1st and 3rd Wednesday. We meet in the front of the facility at 10:45 and spend time with the residents until 11:45ish. The children sing songs, practice flash cards, read books or just visit. My children and I did this last year and it was truly a blessing. After our time together, we could possibly all go to the park for lunch, play and fellowship. If you are interested please email or callme..ericanlawson@gmail.com or (843)304-4449.

Have a great day!

Civic Literacy Course from HSDLA

FYI Civic Literacy Course from HSDLA

The Home School Legal Defense Association is proud to announce our newest civic literacy course, iCitizen! Developed by Generation Joshua, a department of HSLDA, iCitizen will equip your student with the political and historical knowledge every American needs to be an educated and engaged citizen.

The course highlights the purpose of the Constitution, the structure of America’s government economic system, the role of American diplomacy, expressions of patriotism, and provides an introduction to American parties and politics. Perfect as a half-credit, stand-alone civics course, iCitizen is also excellent preparation for accelerated middle school students, or for freshmen and sophomores planning to take advanced American government courses during their upperclassmen years.

iCitizen provides online testing and opportunities for customization to your family and child’s needs. Included with the course are suggested teaching plans, ranging anywhere from student directed self-study to intensive instructor involvement, with discussion questions, suggested essay topics and supplemental resources.

Here’s what people are saying about iCitizen:

“We highly recommend iCitizen to give your teen a thorough, working knowledge of our system of government and his or her role as a US citizen. The course is a wonderful lead-in to studying American government in depth.”—Diane Kummer, High School Consultant

Don’t miss this opportunity to train your student in responsible American citizenship! Your iCitizenpurchase features 1-year access to all online resources and quizzes for only $40 ($30 for HSLDA members).

Course Description for CBC Crossroads Choir

From Claudia –

Maybe parents would like to consider having their home-schooled children participate in choir for course credit. Pastor Matt has given a description of the choir and as you can see it is not just singing! New members are always welcome–official practice begins on August 29 at 8:00pm.
 
In addition, the fall school of music program begins September 10th. If you would like more info on choir or music lessons you can call Laura or Pastor Matt at the church office. 
CROSSROADS CHOIR:
We rehearse about 40 regular hours over the school year, September to May, on Wednesday nights.  Add in the Saturday and Monday rehearsals for special programs plus performances on Wednesday and Sundays and special out-of-town trips and you easily come to 60 hours plus.
 
During regular Wednesday rehearsals, we learn new songs and prepare them for performance.  We do this by memorizing the texts and the various choral parts while learning the fundamentals of music theory.  This includes dynamics, key signatures, time signatures, rhythm, harmony and correct singing technique such as pitch, breathing, support, posture, solos, duets and producing the correct vowel sound.  Watching the director and ear-training are some skills vital to this class.  We spend a few moments each class talking about the meaning of the texts and the biblical basis for the songs.  Additionally, we spend time on speech and drama skills as we prepare our skits and readings for the performances.
