Save The Date! Senior Fest 2013!

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Acclaimed author and historian REV. DR. PAUL MAIER is returning to SENIOR FEST at Concordia University Irvine. He will present seminars on two topics:

Islam and Christianity: For almost fourteen centuries, the Crescent has opposed the Cross. In this seminar, the world’s two largest religions are contrasted in terms of founders, scriptures, history, beliefs, and practices.

Christianity and the Competition: With all world religions claiming to teach the truth, what makes Christianity any different? The credentials of our faith are compared with those of religions in the Far East, the Middle East, and the West. No contest!

You may also choose from one of these four workshop sessions:

• The Ever Changing World of Taxes – presented by Keith Gunther of the MGM Financial Group in Sante Fe Springs. An overview of the current changes facing Americans with a look at how these changes could impact us. We will look at some of the challenges facing us and the steps we can take to minimize the consequences.
• Healthy Body, Beautiful Spirit – presented by Marla Lichtsinn, RN, MPA, CIC, FCN. Discussion and demonstration of exercise programs that benefit older adults physically, mentally and spiritually.

• Exploring Possibilities for Volunteering – presented by Noël Manske Fairchild, DCE. Why should you volunteer your time? What is the best use of your gifts?
