This is a place where we build up, encourage, find joy, give and receive refreshment and accept people where they are at in their walk while helping each other to refocus on our Lord and Savior.
We are prayer warriors, friends, wives, mothers, sisters and beloved daughters of the Most High King. While we take our callings seriously, we don't always take ourselves seriously!
Look for a questionnaire in your email when you sign up. You will receive it automatically after you join. Using this questionnaire not only tells you more about us but it also helps discourage spam and assists in maintaining a true faith based group.

Please, no hurtful messages. If someone says something that offends, please remember that e-mail communication is limited at best and discussions about our different beliefs and philosophies are best conducted in person. If there is an issue, please e-mail the moderators privately at ioniahomeschool-owner@yahoogroups.com and we’ll do what we can to solve the problem. They will be deleted and the appropriate action taken.
Also, please do not blatantly spam the board. If you have a home business, favorite site, craft etc. that you sell, feel free to put a note in your signature line. If you have something school related to sell such as used curriculum, feel free to post that. Please take advantage of the links page and add your favorite links as well.
We hope this group grows to help us all teach our children, the most important job we will ever have. God Bless! Jennifer. Amy.
