A Learning Opportunity for Parents

A couple of parents recommended a seminar that is being hosted by Grace Church in Snellville. The seminar is THIS SUNDAY, September 11th at 5pm. It is a presentation on parenting and navigating the difficult digital landscape with our kids. The seminar does plan to discuss topics that involve human sexuality and the internet, so using the available childcare is recommended.This event is not hosted by Sola Fide, so if you have questions, you will need to contact Grace. Grace is located just off Here’s a link for more information: https://gfc.tv/snellville/2022/09/empower-parenting-4/ 

Singing Invitation

On Sunday, September 25th, we’re going to sing a song called “My Lighthouse” during worship at Sola Fide. A lot of kids in the Academy really like this song, so we’re inviting them to join the musicians in the front of the church to sing along during worship. Kids are invited to sing during the 8:00 or the 10:30am worship service (or both). 

The cookie fellowship that follows has been upgraded to a student cookie-baking contest. Students are encouraged to make their best batch of homemade cookies to share with their friends and congregation after worship on September 25th. 

PTA Meeting 

The next PTA meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 26th at 7pm. We’ll cover fall events like the Pumpkin Patch and Trunk or Treat. Please add it to your calendar.
