Cost is $6/child 12 and under for an all day pass. Add $2 for a child's lunch when you arrive in the morning. This location has a huge indoor playground, bouncy slide, dance floor, and ropes course. It even has an area just for babies and toddlers! Remember that EVERYONE (including adults) must wear socks inside the facility. Adults do not have to pay an admission fee though.

Birmingham area Homeschool Teens will gather to celebrate the season at the Chelsea Senior Center on Thursday, January 11th from 6-8 pm. Each student should bring a holiday treat and a drink to share with the group. Also bring a wrapped White Elephant gift for a Dirty Santa game. The gifts must be previously owned (not purchased new for this event), the sillier and tackier, the better! Connect with organizers (Essential moms) at https://birminghamhomeschoolers.com/event/teen-christmas-in-january/

Join us for perhaps the largest valentine swap in the world! This event is often a wonderful time for Essential families to re-connect after the busy holiday season. Teens are encouraged to come as well and usually gather together for "social" time, and they are often recruited to "judge" the valentine box contest.

https://youtu.be/LxKaje3qZhY Rethink how you see your worldview, Rethink how you see sexuality, Rethink how you see race, Rethink how you engage your faith. Whether we realize it or not, everyone has a worldview. What we believe about the world determines how we live in the world. Our worldview has consequences that will shape how we view race, politics, truth, gender, morality, and science. Join us in April and let's rethink how we see our world!
