January Sunday School Series from Candler School of Theology

Rev. Dr. Ebby Arnold will return to teach on the Gospel of Matthew on January 4,11, 25 and February 1 (not meeting the Sunday of MLK weekend). In “God with Us: A Study of Matthew’s Gospel" we will look at how Matthew uniquely structures his story of Jesus and the early church. Focusing on Jesus as the mediator of God’s presence, we will explore how the church might consider and continue the work of Jesus Today. All adults are invited to meet in the Fellowship Hall for this study with Dr. Arnold. Contact Janice Watts Yates (jyates@dcaturfirst.org) for more information.
