Singers/Technicians Needed for Performance Ministry
 The Continental Singers is a non-profit, music missions organization that is seeking talented vocalists and technicians ages 12-16 to participate in its spring tour (February 20 - March 31). If accepted to the program, participants will be sent out as short term missionaries spreading the gospel in a different venue each night throughout the South-Western U.S. As missionaries they are required to raise their own funds to join the trip, but, as the tour is coming up soon, there is financial assistance available!
The group also tours during the summer and fall but really needs a few more singers/technicians for its spring tour. The Continental Singers hope to see this tour fill up and be successful so the group can do more with the home school community.

Home Safety for Home Schoolers
Home schoolers are experts at transforming areas or rooms of their homes into learning centers. A typical home school has all the tools for learning that any public or private school might have. From whiteboards to motherboards, home schoolers utilize household living areas not only for science projects and seatwork but also for family meals and recreation. Doubling for school areas increases the importance of basic safety practices. Using your home for homeschooling does not create requirements to adhere to any safety regulations or laws. However, it does make good sense to take extra precautions in areas where occupancy and usage will be increased. These safeguards are easy and inexpensive but could make the difference between life and death for your child. Read the article.... |
