The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

Local Chapters of THEA
Sara Lee Harris Speech Competition
THEA member homeschoolers are encouraged to enter the SLH Worldview Apologetics Competition! This Speech Competition is named for a homeschooling grandmother, now in heaven, who was passionate about her faith, loved to study God’s Word, and to share her Christian faith. Her family contributed the $1,000 in prize money which will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in both the Senior Division and Junior Division on Rally Day.
