and who knows what other delights. This is a fundraiser
for the choir to earn money to buy a set of bells, and it
gives you a nice treat on your day out at the sale.

INFO ON "TALES OF THE HEARTILY HOMESCHOOLED"
What do you get when you throw twenty children, four parents,
several cross-country trips, and a sense of humour between
the covers of one book?
Lots and lots of big family fun that will tickle the funny
bones and warm the hearts of your entire clan.
Rachel Starr Thomson is the oldest of twelve children.
Carolyn Currey, her second cousin, is the oldest of eight.
Not only are their families huge, they also homeschool!
Drawing on some of their favourite memories, Rachel and
Carolyn have written a book of essays that will make you
laugh, think, and thank God for family.

He will give answers to common questions such as:
"Where did Cain get his wife?"
"Are dinosaurs in the Bible?"
"How could people live 900 years before the Flood?"
"How old is the earth and what about the dating methods?"
"What caused the ice-age?"
"Can a Christian believe in evolution without contradicting
the Bible?"
"What does the fossil evidence tell us about origins?"
All these and many more issues will be addressed as well
as time to ask questions on any topic you desire. All ages
are welcome!
**** There is NO fee for attending, but please consider
contributing a donation to cover Mr. Youngs time and expenses.
