Advent Class Continues January 8th!     

 

Class will continue, January 8th, 2012 the First Sunday of Epiphany in the Parish Hall.   

 

A Thrill of Hope: The Christmas Story in Word and Art began on 1st Sunday in Advent and will continue through Epiphany.  The Christmas passages in Luke and Matthew are illustrated by John August Swanson with commentary by members of Candler University faculty.  

 

Discussion follows each presentation.  This is a lovely way to enjoy the beauty of this season and reflect on the power of story.  Older children may find this interesting.
