Welcome to a New Season of Whole Hearted Home Educators


Hello Dear Friends,
We would like to welcome back all returning members and extend a special invitation for any new members  who would like to join us for another year of stimulating discussion, fellowship and resource sharing. Our group meets together every 5-6 weeks from September to May following the schedule posted below. This year we will be reading and discussing the book "Educating the WholeHearted Child" (revised and expanded 3rd edition) by Clay and Sally Clarkson. Please note this book has 100 pages of brand new material and much of the original material has been revised. As such we encourage everyone to try and obtain this newer edition if possible. We will be placing a group order through Maple Tree Publications The cost of the book will be $23.50 (all included) or less - depending upon how many books we order. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the book through this bulk order please email Sandy (sandavem@gmail.com) by September 5th with your name. After that date you can order directly from Maple Tree Publications, just mention you are with WHHE. Books will be available at the first meeting. 

Here are the meeting dates and topics we will be studying this year

Sept 18   Chapter 3 Shepherding Your Child's Spirit to Long for God.
