Dear Homeschooler Leader,

On Friday and Saturday, January 19-20, 2001, the Christian Homeschool
Association of Pennsylvania invites you to attend a special Support
Group Leader Conference designed to equip and encourage past, present,
and future homeschool support group leaders.

Conference speakers will be Mr. Ken Sande of Peacemaker Ministries,
Dewitt Black, Esq., the Home School Legal Defense Association, and
members of the CHAP board of directors. Sessions will target the
concerns of leaders, giving  practical ideas for strengthening the
ministry  of support groups, and insight into important legislative
issues.


The Conference will be held at the Evangelical Free Church of Hershey in
Hershey, PA. The Conference will begin with sign-in at 6:30 pm on
Friday.  The registration fee is $5 per person, and includes a Saturday
luncheon. Seating is limited. Preregistration is required. We are unable
to accommodate arrivals at the door, and child care is not provided.
Registrations  must be received by  January 17, 2001.

We found out the brochures announcing this event were mailed bulk rate
rather than first class mail. Since the postal service can hold bulk
mail for up to three weeks, many of you may only have just received the
information within the past few days.

If you would like to attend, just email and let us know and let your
registration follow in the mail.

improve the unity and effectiveness of your support group.

the heroes of the Bible used to find common ground and build consensus
with hostile civil authorities, critical relatives, and bickering
friendsãthe same kinds of people home support group leaders sometimes
need to negotiate with today!

Conciliation Skills for Support Group Leadership Learn how you can use
Christian conciliation skills to counsel those in conflict, mediate
disputes, and keep your support group, family and church running
smoothly.
