Bible Podcast Invite

Mr. Schmiege’s favorite Bible podcast just started a new season on Monday. This season focuses on Paul’s letter to the Galatians. The podcast has a daily 10-minute format. One of the features of the podcast is solid historical background information that helps the modern reader think carefully about the setting of the letter. 

Making daily engagement with Scripture a habit is one of the best things we can do. Mr. Schmiege would love for you to join him in studying Scripture, and for you to share your reactions and thoughts. Check it out here: https://www.thetmbh.com/tmbh 

Campus Campout

Sola Fide will be hosting a Campus Campout once again on Friday, September 27. We’ll have games, s’mores, snacks, songs, and lots of fun. Mark the date on your calendar and look out for more information in the coming weeks!
