THE GREAT COURSES®

The Great Courses is a series of college-level audio and video courses which offers lecture series for “a discerning community of lifelong learners who demand the best of the best.” This particular series is taught by Professor Bart D. Ehrman from the University of North Carolina who has written or edited 29 books, including four New York Times best sellers. The lectures are a half an hour in length and will be facilitated by a Life Enrichment team member.

How Jesus Became GodThe entire story of how Jesus became God is of paramount importance not only to those interested in the Christian religion for personal or historical reasons but also for everyone who has any interest in history. These lectures, part of the Great Courses series, look at the key event that promoted the idea that Jesus was God. Two installments of the series will be shown each Friday with a time of discussion to follow. This will be our last quarter as we complete this series.

However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her nana get arrested – or worse – evicted? Afterwards we will be stopping for an early dinner at the Chambersburg Family Diner.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTIONThemed for the upcoming seasons, you will find fun, heartwarming and inspirational movies to enjoy on your Sunday afternoons. We will be showing a Ken Burns documentary over the next three months, entitled “Country Music”. This documentary walks you through the history of a uniquely American art form, focusing on the biographies of the fascinating characters who created it. The film follows the evolution of country music from its diverse and humble origins as it emerged, by the end of the twentieth century, into a worldwide phenomenon.

• CommUNITY Spirit AARP Driving Classes The AARP Smart Driver course is the nation’s first refresher course specifically designed for drivers age 50 and older. In many states, drivers may benefit from a discount on their auto insurance premium upon completing the course and you will learn something new along the way. In fact, an evaluation of the course found that 97% of participants changed at least one driving habit as a result of what they learned. No experience is necessary as this is a “start at the very beginning” program.
