National Lutheran Homeschool Conference

When: July 20-21, 2012
Where: Ascension Lutheran Church in Wichita
Theme: You Are Not Alone (Romans 1:12)

As a Lutheran homeschooling parent, time and time again we have heard the lament from other Lutheran homeschoolers that “We are so isolated and alone,” often followed by, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we knew other Lutheran homeschoolers? What if we could get together?”

A group of Lutheran homeschooling parents from Ascension Lutheran Church in Wichita has been meeting since late September, seeking God’s guidance on a conference that would bring together Lutheran homeschoolers to remind them that “You Are Not Alone.” Knowing there are many other conferences out there to attend, the goal from the beginning was to put together a conference that would address topics pertinent to Lutherans and from the Lutheran perspective.

To help promote the conference, we have already set up a website, created a profile on Facebook, and posted information on the LCMS homeschool Yahoo! group. To further promote the conference within the LCMS, we are asking for your assistance. To help you with promoting, we have included:

     • a brochure
     • a poster
     • a bulletin announcement (feel free to format as needed)
     • slides for a sanctuary screen, standard and widescreen
     • registration forms

Together in Him,
