God and Country: "We the People" Workshop with Bill Federer

Have you been concerned with the issues we are facing as a nation, and the direction our country has been going as it increasingly rejects our Christian heritage?    Do you desire to learn more about the foundations of our nation, the constitutional basis for our government, and the stages of the slippery slope that has brought us to where we are today?  Have you wondered if you - as an individual or family -  could make a difference?

Our workshop God and Country: "We the People": Making a Difference will help your family learn the principles that made this nation great, and how to work to make us once again "One Nation Under God"!  Bill Federer - author, historian, and radio broadcaster of "American Minute" will be our keynote speaker.  He will be joined by several elected officials who are presently serving, as well as those who have served in the past.  We will also hear from many who are actively seeking to make a difference in our country, as they share the various ways they are working both individually and in organizations.  Come for a time of learning, being challenged, getting your questions answered, and fellowship!

This workshop will be held on July 18-19, 2014 at the Heritage Ministry Center, 612 Due West Ave., Madison, TN 37115.   The hours will be 6:30 - 9:30 Friday evening, and 9:00 - 4:00 Saturday.  The cost will be $15 per person, with a family maximin of $45.  Children under ten are free.  Overnight accommodations and/or meal tickets for the Saturday fellowship lunch will be available for an additional charge.  Registration will be at the door.  For additional information please call 615.636.2144
