For parents this school year, we are taking a deep dive into Deuteronomy 6, studying God's commands for "as you go" discipleship, and discussing how this command can be applied within homeschool rhythms and family life. 

In October, we will be discussing Deuteronomy 6:6, considering God's Word is on our hearts so that we are prepared to obey the "as you go" commands within homeschooling, family life, activities, and all the in between moments when opportunities pop up and present themselves!

Preteens/Teens will have some fun activities and a short devotion.
