Homeschooling Southern Baptist families will find this year's annual meeting of Southern Baptists of Texas Convention full of educational opportunities for their children as the November 13-14 annual meeting provides a study hall, local field trip experience and internship options.

This meeting in Austin offers many resources to learn about the history of the State of Texas and government.  By calling 866-G0-AUSTIN visitors can receive a guide for planning their trip.

A visit to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in downtown Austin is planned for Tuesday afternoon where students will learn the story of Texas through three floors of interactive exhibits.  Options include watching Texas: The Big Picture, the museum's signature large-format film in Austin's only IMAX Theatre described online at www.thestoryoftexas.com.

On site internship opportunities during the state convention meeting will give secondary level students a chance to explore their interests as they are assigned to various areas, including the press room, resolutions, and various exhibits.  An area of the church will be designated for a cooperative study hall Monday evening thru and Tuesday evening where parents can trade off responsibility for supervising home educated students.

We also hope to offer some brief lessons on Baptist history and relate how Southern Baptists work together to spread the gospel around the world.  We'll tour the many exhibits related to the ministries of Southern Baptists to make this clear and meet individuals representing those organizations.
