Psalm 127 Unless the Lord Builds the House

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
    those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
    and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
    for he gives to his beloved sleep.

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
    the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
    are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
    when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

Q:

A:

Your membership fee covers immediate family membership only. Your immediate family is defined as your spouse and children living in your home. If your family wants to sponsor another homeschooling family by paying their membership fee, please contact a leadership member to have that taken care of.

Do not share your membership log-in information with anyone who is not a member of CHE. If you think your log-in information has been compromised, please change your password or contact a member of leadership. We want to ensure the privacy and safety of our website to all members.

Membership dues are paid each school year and cover website use, website maintenace, credit card processing fees, supplies for classes, and supplies for holiday parties.

Q:

A:

Advanced sign-up for certain events is necessary because we need an accurate head count in order to plan appropriately.

If you try to sign-up before the deadline and find the sign-up is already full, please contact the person in charge of the event to add your name to the waiting list. Families sometimes cancel and a spot may come open for your family.

If your family will be unable to attend an event, remember to cancel on the website as soon as possible. Another family may be waiting for a chance to sign-up.

Sign-up after the deadline is usually not possible due to the logistics of planning activities and field trips accurately, please contact the event coordinator to check if a particular event has additional space after the deadline.

Please understand that you put the events coordinator in an awkward position by asking her to squeeze you in anyway.

NO SHOWS can be a problem because some events require a minimum number of people. If something comes up please cancel and contact the event coordinator at least 24 hours before the scheduled time.

Some field trips will require that we pay as a group and when this is the case you will be able to pay on the website when you sign-up for the event. In the event you sign-up, pay and then are unable to attend an event most of the time your payment will be nonrefundable due to head count minimums for fieldtrips and processing fees.

Q:

A:

Parent Involvement in the group is strongly encouraged and we would not be able to function without our families and parent involvement. We are excited to have you become involved with the group and bring new ideas.

You are welcome to:

• teach a class
• plan a fieldtrip
• plan a teen meet-up
• plan a playdate

Please contact a member of leadership to get started adding value to the group.

Q:

A:

Each family determines their own login (username) and password. Only the family has access to this login and password. Each family can change their login and password as frequently as they desire. This adds another level of security and gives control to each family over their personal login and password.
