Did Paul's congregation in Thessalonica consist of Gentiles and Jews?

Bart Ehrman points out in Jesus, Interrupted the contradiction in the Christian Bible regarding whether or not Paul's congregation in Thessalonica consisted of Gentiles and Jews:

1 Thessalonians 1:9

9 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

Verses:

Acts 17:1-4

1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom, [said he,] I proclaim unto you, is the Christ.
4 And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
