Planning Home School Activities for your Church Families


A fun idea for smaller churches who do not have a Christian school is to have activities for your home school families.  We began having a quarterly chapel and activity for our home schoolers.  This quarter, we had a short chapel service followed by fun kickball game.


We then went to Virginia City, NV.  A great historical place close to Reno.  They are having Flashback Fridays for several months.  This includes free admission to 17 different museums there in the town.  


Everyone packed a sack lunch and we ate in a park there.  We also ended the day with hand dipped ice cream cones.  Mmm!


This was a fantastic group of kids and we had a super day!
Check out your local attractions for specials for the summer.  

And you can't beat the view, for sure!  I love this state!

Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
