Day at the Dome Info is HERE! MICHN Moment-Sept'23

  1. Share
2 Timothy 2.1-4, commands I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
 
Day at the Dome is a MiCHN critical event. We must pray for our government leaders in obedience to God's command and demonstrate our commitment to their welfare while entreating them and the Almighty for continual blessing on our freedom to disciple our children at home.
 
Freedom to disciple our children at home through home education was only codified into our law in December 1995, not even thirty years ago. Hard work, pain, and many prayers led to God's movement of Michigan Supreme Court Justices and State Legislators to open the door for Christian parents to disciple their children at home full-time without government hassle or interference.
 
We must continue to pray. We must continue to work. Failure means some will suffer again for defying the law of men to obey God's command to train up our children in His way that they should go. I invite you to keep praying, join us for prayer, and show our legislators our commitment to freedom, home discipleship, and their welfare on October 4th.

President, MiCHN

INCH 2023 Was a GREAT Success!😁
INCH Conference 2023 is in the books!     What a wonderful and blessed time we all had at the 2023 INCH Conference. This year, we marked 40 years of Michigan homeschoolers coming together and worshiping God. It is our prayer that you left Lansing feeling encouraged, inspired, and remembering why you decided to homeschool. If you were unable to join us, we are sorry you missed such a blessed weekend. Congratulations once again to Vicki Girard, 2023 recipient of the Marcia Holmes Memorial Award. Vicki has overcome many obstacles and challenges, yet has persevered in the face of tragedy and continues to pour into the homeschool community around her. THANK YOU, Vicki. May God continue to give you strength and courage as you walk this path with Him.  Our Young Entrepreneur Fair was a HUGE hit! We had so many amazing items kids made and built so they could sell them. They learned many things through this opportunity. Thank you to all the parents who helped make this possible for our very young business men and women. The College and Career Fair was bustling with activity this year. We had over 30 colleges and career opportunities ready and available for students to talk with. It was a great time of exploring all the options students across the state of Michigan have as they prepare for future endeavors. What a wonderful line up of speakers we had this year! Everyone who attended the conference had some very hard decisions to make as they chose which breakout sessions they'd like to attend. The exhibitor halls were packed with activity and the new setup this year gave many people a chance to peruse on a more consistent basis as they went from one breakout session to the next.  What a joy our Family Night was on Friday as well. We had a great keynote address from Todd Wilson followed up by a fantastic and hilarious performance by Bob Cates from Comedy in Motion. It was such a joy to sit back and laugh with all those who were able to be there. Mark your calendar for the 3rd weekend of May in 2024 and plan to be with us next year!! **For those who attended the INCH Conference this year, be on the lookout for our conference survey. The link for that survey will be sent out in a separate email. We'd love for you to take a few moments and give us your feedback as we begin planning for INCH 2024!**   Conference Recordings Available. If you were unable to join with us in person, you have the opportunity to purchase all the sessions here. MiCHN 2023 COMPLETE Convention Set: $79.00 Individual Sessions: $4.00   A huge THANK YOU to all of this year's conference sponsors! Without you, this annual event would not be possible.
