In the name of God, Amen!

Declarations that Define Us

Join us, April 13, 2012 to celebrate freedom's finest hours as we transport you to ancient places and foreign lands….

 

Liberty Celebration starts at 9:30 AM!
(Doors open at 9:00 AM)

Join us at Pillar of Fire church to stand boldly with Patrick in his fight against the pagan druids, march with King Alfred to Christianize the Vikings, hold wicked King John accountable alongside the noble Barons, sail the tumultuous seas with Bradford and Brewster, then sign away your life, fortune and sacred honor on the Declaration of Independence. 

Come to Homeschool Day at the Capitol on April 13th and be riveted by the stories surrounding the documents that have changed history for all time, as told by Dr. Marshall Foster of WorldHistoryInstitute.com and dramatized by talented historical re-enactors.

Then, raise your hearts and voices in praise to the God of liberty with the bold anthems of the Liberty Men's Chorale.  Don't let the bleak scribblings of secular historians influence your children's knowledge of our history. Instead, cultivate their passion for the kingdom of God by bringing them to the Liberty Celebration at Homeschool Day at the Capitol, where they will relive the drama surrounding the historical Christian documents that charted the course of history.

Noon Rally starts at 12:15 PM

Meet on the west steps of the Capitol (rain or shine) for an event that promises to be filled with patriotism, inspiration and education. Many of Colorado's elected officials and homeschooling leaders will be addressing our rally. Dr. Marshall Foster, President World History Institute will keynote. Your presence shows public support for homeschooling freedoms to our elected officials, helping to ensure these freedoms for years to come. CHEC encourages you to make this event a priority for your family.

 

Dr. Marshall Foster

President World History Institute

The World history Institute is dedicated to uncovering the unchanging truths and lessons of history that have liberated nations around the globe. For three decades Marshall has taught these truths through best-selling books, dynamic seminars, documentaries, and radio programs.

Parents and teens are invited to participate in a hands-on workshop on citizen lobbying at the Capitol from 1:30 to 2:45 (after the Noon Rally, starts at the base of the west steps). Use the registration form to secure your place in this valuable class.
