Bible Bowl September 8th -- This year's Bible Bowl will cover the books of James, 1 & 2; Peter, 1, 2, & 3; John, and Jude. It has been suggested that an excellent method of studying for the Bible Bowl is for each student to read the text seven times (a good biblical number!) If you would like a suggested reading schedule, see Carol Petty; if you haven't already started, then you have some catching up to do. Optional Wednesday night study sessions in the library, but please do not consider these sessions to be a substitute for your own individual study.
