WHERE: Providence Family Baptist Church, now meeting at:

Church of the Good Shepherd

Lynnwood, WA  98036

WHO: All are invited.  Of special interest to homeschoolers and those considering homeschooling.
COST: There is no cost to attend; donations gratefully accepted.

“Government-funded programs for homeschoolers are everywhere  and they are enticing. They provide free materials, services, and experiences to home educating families. But what price do parents pay to participate in these programs? Is there a cost to the home education movement? Are we welcoming a “Trojan Horse” into our midst through participation in these programs? Are the government schools trying to redefine homeschooling, as just another model of public schooling?

Come and get informed about the history of the programs, their agenda, and what we can do. Together we can and we must preserve the home education movement for future generations!

Scott and DiAnna Brannan founders of the Christian Homeschool Network will give a brief overview of government school-at-home programs along with showing the new powerful DVD, Exposing a Trojan Horse produced by the National ALLIANCE of Christian Home Educators. Watch interviews of leaders of Christian state homeschool organizations, researchers, and parents across the nation as they expose the hidden costs of participating in government-funded programs for home educators.

Whether you are independently homeschooling or currently enrolled in government school-at-home programs, you cannot afford to miss this powerful presentation!” -CHN
Preserving Homeschool Freedoms for Today and Tomorrow!
