Paul's Letter to the Philippians

4-week course hosted at Dunwoody United Methodist Church in Dunwoody, Georgia. Wednesdays from 7:00 PM ET - 8:30 PM ET from October 26 - November 16, 2022.

Description

In partnership with Dunwoody UMC:
 
In this four-week course, we discover Paul’s special relationship with a church he loved—Philippi. Topics we will explore in this letter include: the role of suffering in the life of believers, the communal identity of Jesus-followers, and the wise use of role models and examples.
 
Above all, the course looks to understand the complete paradigm shift that believers undergo, living in the same world as before but according to a completely different story.
 
Scholarships are available for this course, please email us at candlerfoundry@emory.edu for more information.
