The Marshes Lecture
Series Presents:
AMAZING ENGLISH
By Roger Smith
Date: Jan. 17th, 4pm
Ballroom
With a precarious and uncertain genesis on foggy islands far from the “center” of the civi-lized world, the English language would have been no betting person’s choice for worldwide dominance. Yet one of every seven people on earth speaks English as a first or second lan-guage. English is the internationally recognized language of diplomacy, trade, and emerging technologies. This lecture by former English teacher and Learning Center director Roger Smith demonstrates the impressive success story of English.

Join us as we begin our journey through the award winning mini series by Tom Hanks
and Steven Spielberg.
Band of Brothers is a World War Two miniseries based on the best-selling book of the same name by
Stephen Ambrose. It follows the men of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry
Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. It received positive reviews of 8.8 and 9.6 and won a Golden Globe

Friday, Jan 25th, 4:00pm
Ballroom
Plato once said, “Our souls are like a charioteer who strives to control two horses,
each pulling in an different direction. One horse is Reason and the other horse is
the emotion of ANGER.”
What drives anger? All the deadly sins work together, and anger, pride and envy
form a particularly unholy alliance. Should we humans be trusted with our own
anger?
Come join Pastor Holst in the Ballroom for an
informative and fascinating lecture!

Wellness Dimension of the Month:
Scientific research has shown that meditation has many benefits for our well-being, including:
• Increasing our ability to withstand
stress
• Making us feel more rested
• Helping to relieve and reduce pain
• Lowering our blood pressure
• Increasing our immunity
Regular practice of meditation over time can change the structure of our brains so that we are
able to experience more positive emotion. There is evidence that meditation can also help im-
prove our ability to focus, our level of alertness, our memory, our academic performance and cre-
ativity.
Practicing meditation has been shown to help us get in touch with our feelings, and over time it
can increase how happy and optimistic we feel as well as our sense of spirituality. It can help us
accept who we are and increase our sense of fulfilment. It can also help us build empathy and
compassion and so help improve our relationships with other people.
Where to Start?
1. Come learn a basic technique . Come try a class. The Marshes meditation classes are open to all
and will be held at 9:30am January 5th, 12th, and 26th in the Ballroom. Learning this way can be
helpful if you have questions and gives you encouragement to keep going. Alternatively, a great
way to learn is from one of the online guides or audio downloads. There are many options availa-
ble.
2. Have a go. Make time to sit comfortably and start practicing the technique you've learned.
3. Keep it up. Try to find a few minutes to meditate at the same time every day if possible. You can
build up your time gradually. Remember that it doesn't always go well, and that's part of the pro-
cess. It takes about three weeks to develop a reliable habit, so stick with it - the benefits really are
worth it!

In addition to teaching private lessons, composing and arranging, he completed his Masters in Composition from Georgia Southern University, where he studied under Dr. Martin Gendelman. Eric has worked with many prominent artists including Grammy Award winning Esperanza Spalding, Stewart Copland of the Police and Keith Miller of the Metropolitan Opera. In 2011 Eric premiered his latest work, “Songs of Creation,” which combines spiritual, jazz and African influences with the poem of James Wel-don Johnson’s “The Creation.” Eric is the pianist with the Savannah Jazz Orches-tra and performs with them annually at the Savannah Jazz Festival.

Dear 2018 OLS Committee,
I would like to take a moment to thank
each one of you for your support and sug-
gestions throughout the year of 2018. I
feel privileged to have served this team.
Our team has had such a huge impact on
the overall aesthetics and general appear-
ance of our campus, maintaining the
premier property we are in Savannah. You
have all challenged me and kept me on my
toes. Facilities Operations will contin-
ue to bring that same service and dedica-
tion to the 2019 team. Again, thank you
all for your help. It has been my pleasure.
