I delivered a sermon on Deuteronomy 6 entitled "Whose Job is it Anyhow?".  It was a bit of an expose of the government school system.  I challenged our parents to prayerfully consider withdrawing their children from public education.  My premise was that it is our job as parents to educate & disciple our kids.  Well that message really shook up the deacons & some of our leadership.  One family, a biology professor at our local college quit coming for 6 months. 

Shorlty after that, the Lord brought to us the first home educating family ,other than us, in our church.  Since then, 4 more such families have come in part due to that sermon.  I believe strongly in the uniting of Church & Home.  In our fellowship, we learn, worship, & fellowship as families.  We have a family Sunday School, Choir, & Worship time.  I believe it is refreshing to go to God's house & not immediatly be split up.  I have found that this type of worship philosophy is not without its challenges but the benefits far outweigh them.  I am meeting with our leaders this weekend for a retreat.  It is my prayer that they will fully embrace the vision of a united Church & Home.
