MOM'S NIGHT OUT

Theme for September: 
GRAINS 101

Have you ever considered making homemade bread for your family but don't have a clue where to start?  Did you know that you can make homemade tortillas and buns?  Any "bread" that you can buy, you can make at home.

We'll talk about:
Wheat - what is the difference between hard wheat and soft wheat, red wheat and white wheat? 
Why is the flour you buy in the grocery store enriched and what does that mean?
Other grains - barley, spelt, rice, corn, oats, etc.
Gluten - what is it and do we need it and what if you're allergic to gluten?
How to get started baking your own breads.
Where and how to get your grains and equipment.

Whether you are just interested or just getting started come join us and learn!
If you are a "grain" veteran, come share your expertise and knowledge!

There might even be some samples to taste.............
.....and maybe a grain mill/wheat grinding demonstration!
You never know what might happen at Mom's Night Out!

This dynamic and challenging DVD series upholds the authority of the Bible from its very first verse. Powerful, foundational teaching by one of today’s foremost defenders of the Bible’s accuracy and authority, Ken Ham.

In this series, "Aussie" Ken Ham equips Christians to stand firm in their faith, and to defend it against the onslaughts of today’s "me" centered, relativistic culture. Practical apologetics for every adult and teen.

This series contains the following sessions:
(Each session will be one hour.)

  • Is Genesis Relevant Today? - Sept 9
  • Did God Create in Six Literal Days? - Sept 16
  • Why is there Death and Suffering? - Sept 23
  • Is there Really a God? - Sept 30
  • Do the Animals “Evolve”? - Oct 7
  • Where do the “Races” Come From? - Oct 14
  • What is the Only Answer to Racism? - Oct 21
  • Dinosaurs—in the Bible? - Oct 28
  • How can we Raise Godly Children? - Nov 4
  • Fossils and the Flood—What’s the Connection? - Nov 11

Each video is 30 minutes in length and includes a study guide.
Discussion questions will follow the viewing of each DVD.

Who is Ken Ham? - Australian born, Ken Ham is an internationally known speaker and best-selling author on the accuracy and authority of the Scriptures. In this fast-paced and often humorous series, Ham provides solid answers to some of today’s most-asked questions about the Bible—particularly the book of Genesis. In these well-illustrated presentations, he shows just how strongly the Bible connects to the real world.

Enhance your child’s research and critical thinking skills

You, as a parent, will never be able to teach your student(s) everything they will need to know, but you CAN help equip them to know where and how to find and verify information by using many diverse forms of reference materials.

The items listed below will be needed in order to answer the questions and complete the exercises in the class.  If you do not already own these items I would encourage you to purchase them as they will be used many times after your children become familiar with them.  It will also make class time more effective if each child (or family) has their own reference book instead of having to share with the entire class.  If finances are tight, check out thrift stores, yard sales, and used book stores for possible purchases.  HOWEVER, IT IS NOT REQUIRED THAT YOU PURCHASE ALL OF THESE TO TAKE THE CLASS.  The date listed after each item is the date that the item will be needed IN CLASS so please make sure your child/family remembers to bring the appropriate item on the specified date. 

The New American Roget’s College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form (9-16-10)
207166: New American Roget"s College Thesaurus in Dictionary Form

Dictionary - preferably a Webster’s Collegiate, but anything equivalent will be fine (9-23-10)
Encyclopedia - IF you have a set of encyclopedias, please have your child/family bring ONE volume to class (9-30-10)

Concise Concordance (found in the back of most Bibles) OR Exhaustive Concordance (Strong’s) - IF you have an exhaustive concordance, please let your child/family bring it AND a Bible (of whatever translation your Strong’s is) to class; otherwise, just have them bring a Bible with a CONCISE concordance if you have one (10-7-10)

Telephone Directory (10-14-10)

Newspaper - If you don’t subscribe to the paper, please try to pick one up (or borrow one) on your way to class (10-21-10)
