Music of the Christmas Season: 2020 Edition
We will learn about, listen to, and enjoy the music that makes Christmas an enjoyable, beautiful season. The first session will be an exploration of the secular celebration of Christmas. We will kick off with Barry Manilow reminding us that “Christmas is Just Around the Corner” and end with The Cincinnati Pops’ rendition of “Deck the Halls.” In between we will hear vocalists and musical groups who have made memorable recordings to celebrate the season. The second session will focus on the sacred celebration of Christmas. We will listen to recordings by famous choral groups and enjoy hearing traditional carols, music from long ago, and a very inspiring rendition of “Mary, Did You Know?” by opera soprano Kathleen Battle accompanied by classical guitarist Christopher Parkening. We look forward to seeing you join us for a class that will make your Christmas season merry and bright. About the Instructor: Jim Smith Jim Smith was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Lansdale.

The History and Evolution of the Nobel Peace Prize
Souderton Mennonite Homes - Summit View Auditorium 207 W Summit St, Souderton, PA, United StatesThis course examines the origins, development, and current context of the world’s most prestigious recognition for contributions to the cause of peace. It traces the origins of the Nobel Peace Prize to a thriving peace movement organized in the early 19th century by citizens animated by religious and humanitarian principles that had gained broad support by 1901, when the prize was first awarded. The course features a gallery of recipients (and non-recipients) to illustrate the diverse ways of promoting peace and the evolution of thinking about peace over the past 120 years. In addition it describes the process of selecting recipients and invites reflection about the significance of the Nobel Peace Prize over the decades through the present day.
