  • Church History: Why So Many Christian Groups? 

  • Why did the beliefs of church leaders such as Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Cranmer, and the Council of Trent, lead to the development of different Christian Groups? How did they arrive at those beliefs? To make the question relevant to all eras including our own: How can Christians of sincere faith and good conscience arrive at different conclusions when studying the same Scriptures? You do not need to have taken previous courses in Church History nor subscribe to a particular belief system to join the conversation designed to increase our understanding of the "roots and branches" of various Christian theologies.  We will examine views of the Eucharist (The Lord's Supper, Communion) as a case-study in comparative theology.  Don't let the academic nature of this course description deter you from joining us.  We always have lively and friendly discussions.  This course was offered last offered in our Fall 2018 Term.

    Week 1: Driving Through Normandy with Meryl Rachlin and Bill Grindl Travel once again with Meryl and Bill on a driving tour through Normandy. You’ll view the sprawling countryside of farmland carpeted with veggie greens and ochre wheat, untamed fields of red poppies and wildflowers. You’ll visit the historic locations of Mont-Saint-Michel, William the Conqueror’s birth castle, WWII’s Ponte Du Hoc overlooking the cliffs of Normandy Beach, and travel farther up the coast to the bustling fishing village of Hon Fleur, and then on to Etretat, famous for Monet’s paintings. But be careful that you don’t get locked, along with Meryl and Bill, in the magical garden of Chateau Jardin Vendeuvre after it closes. Come and find out how they got out!

    Week 2: Exploring Antarctica with Tim Johnson From France, we’ll travel to Antarctica, the White Continent, with Tim Johnson. We will explore what makes Antarctica unique, why it's the least understood continent, what makes it so challenging to visit, what safeguards are in place to ensure the continent is protected from human beings and who really owns Antarctica. We’ll enjoy a wealth of photos showcasing this amazing continent.

In Week 2, we will trace the family tree of a honeybee and see how the number of the bee’s ancestors is related to pinecones, the proportions of the ideal human body, classical architecture, the Fibonacci Sequence and The DaVinci Code. In Week 3, we will construct Pascal’s Triangle and explore some of its many number patterns and how they relate to probability -- and if we really should change doors on “Let’s Make a Deal”!

  • I Hate Fees, So Everything Should Be Free!! NEW!

  • In this course I’m going to take you on a journey through the world of expenses and fees. We will start with the psychology of “paying for things”. Why do some people feel okay paying $30 for an ice cream at Disney, but recoil in disgust when they have to pay $4.99 for a stock trade? Why do we feel great buying CDs that have the highest fees of almost any investment, simply because we didn’t see the line item? And lastly, why does the pocket that receives the fee affect our feelings about it? Beyond investments, we’ll explore bank fees, profits, mark-ups, inflation and other things that cost us money. It’ll be fun and I promise you won’t feel too icky afterwards!

And of course, we will look at the First Lady as homemaker as well as her role in the White House redecorations and holiday decorations.

  • Web Design for Small Business or Personal Use 

  • Using your own computer, you will create a website for a small business, church group, "side hustle," or even a family reunion. You may use a Mac or a PC computer. You will create a FREE website using the program Google Sites. You will create a website of one to five pages, including a Home Page, Contact Page, Programs or Services Offered Page, and up to two additional pages (such as Photos or Testimonials). Your site will serve as a welcome mat for your business, organization, or event; it will provide a digital brochure. Your website also lets Google Search find your business if you choose to make it open to the public. If your business is a non-profit, many companies require a website to allow employees to request matching funds donations. At the end of the course, you may choose to publish your webpage or to keep it private. This course was last offered in our Spring 2023 term.

This course will be offered online via Zoom. You will receive an email with the Zoom link for the course prior to the start date.

  • Workshop: Write a Ten-Minute Play - Part 1 

  • This workshop teaches a highly successful method of writing a ten-minute play. Although the workshop is designed for first-time playwrights, many people have taken it several times. In Part 1, the instructors assist the participants in selecting play topics that are likely to be successful and producible. Once the participants have selected their story and characters, the instructors encourage and guide the participants as they complete their first drafts. Classes consist of reading the plays as they have been written so far with supportive class feedback. Note: This is a nine-class course. Participants are expected to enroll in Parts 1, 2 and 3.
    Class size is limited to 6.

  • Workshop: Write a Ten-Minute Play - Part 3 

  • The third part of this workshop begins with polishing the plays for the final class which is a staged reading for Lifelong members. The playwrights cast their plays, supervise final dress readings, and experience the excitement of seeing their original work being presented. Following the staged reading, the instructors provide concrete steps for the playwright to take to submit their play for professional production and publication. Plays written in this workshop have been performed throughout the United States, received important awards, and been published in international anthologies of the Best New Plays of the Year. But most of all, we will have had fun working as a group to create original works of drama. Note: This is a nine-class course. Participants are expected to enroll in Parts 1, 2 and 3.
