30 May Conference: Shaping the Next Generation

“The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes.” Isaiah 58 v 11 – 12 NLT

We’ve chosen these verses as the foundational scriptures for our very first Rooted to Flourish conference as they encapsulate so much of the vision and journey of Home Education. It can feel like we are continually stepping out into uncharted territory and we need God’s guidance. The daily demands are tough and we can easily run dry on our own resources and need to be filled afresh with God’s Spirit and reminded of His promises to us in His Word.

While the cost can feel high, the vision is spectacular! We are building up the foundations of the next generation. We are raising up the leaders, the preachers, the mums and dads, the business entrepreneurs and the intercessors who will influence the church and nation in the decades to come.

It’s a high calling, and therefore not an easy one. So, whether you are home educating or considering it, come and join us on 30 May. It will be a day of fellowship and friendship, of teaching and worship; a time to be restored, refreshed and re-inspired.

Registration is below. We have a limited number of spaces available, so do book early to make sure you can be there!

Enjoy browsing the website. We’ll be adding more information here in the coming weeks but feel free to contact mollyashtonresources@gmail.com if you have any queries.

We’re excited about our inaugural Rooted to Flourish conference and we hope you can be there. We look forward to meeting you.

May God bless you and your family,

The RtF team

• Programme
  • Doors open 9:30am with the day finishing at 3:00pm but our doors won’t close until 4:00pm. In that hour you’re welcome to stay for more tea, cake and connection or explore the local area… whatever restores your soul the best!
• Seminars
  • On the day we’re hoping to offer the following seminars:
    • Home Educating Through the Younger Years – Deborah Arnold
    • Navigating the Exam Years – Mary Ferguson
    • Resources: Choosing the Best Fit for Your Family – Hazel Leithall
    • The Blessings and Challenges of Additional Needs
• Food
  • There will be hot drinks and cake provided (feel free to bring your favourite insulated mug so you can cradle a drink throughout!) We suggest you bring your own lunch or pick up something delicious from the bakery, butcher or Tesco in Cheddar.
• Money Matters
  • We are keen this is open to every woman who would like to come. We’ve therefore decided not to charge, but to ask for donations as you’re able. Our suggestion is £10; but for some this may not be possible while others may be able to give slightly more. We won’t be taking digital transfers, so will be bringing back the old days of cash only! There’s a cash point in Cheddar – a five minute walk from the church – if needed, and we’ll have donation boxes on the day. We thank God for the resources He has poured out and are so glad we can share them out between us.
• Registration – REGISTER HERE
  • It would be helpful to know a little bit about where you are on your Home Ed journey, so if you’re happy to do so, please fill in the questionnaire. Please do also indicate your two seminar choices. While we’re not asking for payment with registration, spaces are limited and we will fine tune our planning around those who are coming. We ask, therefore, that if at the last minute you’re not able to come, you either pass your space on to someone else or let us know so we can offer it to another lady. Thank you.
• Directions and Parking
  • The address is: Cheddar Baptist Church, Lower North Street, Cheddar, Somerset BS27 3HA.
