Prediabetes Awareness & Diabetes Prevention: What You Need To Know January 18, 2021 - Diabetes awareness and prevention is always a hot topic among the senior population, but what about prediabetes? Awareness of prediabetes is incredibly important to our overall health, yet the CDC estimates a staggering 88 million American adults have prediabetes and 84% of those are unaware they have it! So what is prediabetes? Simply put, prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes doesn’t have any clear symptoms, so it often goes unnoticed and undiagnosed. The good news is that a prediabetes diagnosis does not mean... Read More

    Henri Matisse Enter the world of Matisse. A world of color, enjoyment and peace. A place that celebrates flowers, sunshine, beautiful women, complex patterns, rich textures, fine foods, tempting aromas, books, dance, music and art. Matisse’s world has a “calming influence on the mind, like a good armchair.” Indulge yourself and join us for a vacation from stress, into the sanctuary of Matisse’s World.

  • Jewish Studies Group

    3:00 pm-5:00 pm
    01/04/2019

    Starting Friday January 4, at 3 P.M., the Jewish Studies Group will be meeting in the chapel. Rabbi Rachmiel Langer will continue to lead the group, as he has since 2008. Each week, as a d’var Torah – a “word of Torah” – Reb Rachmiel leads a teaching and discussion of Jewish perspective Bible study, history, Jewish thought, holiday traditions, or life-cycle practices. Each week, we welcome the beginning of the Sabbath with blessings over lighting the candles, wine, and challah bread. Reb Rachmiel received rabbinic ordination from a Beit Din (rabbinic court) led by Rabbi Alan Ullman on Tu BiShvat 5776 (2016), culminating fifteen years of Jewish sacred studies and ministry service. He received training as a “mashpia ruchani,” (spiritual guide) at Lev Shomea, Institute for the Training of Spiritual Directors in the Jewish Tradition. Previously, he earned a BA in philosophy at Hampshire College, studying eastern and western spiritual traditions. He has been a member of Kerem Shalom, a synagogue in Concord, MA for thirty years, at times serving on the board as VP of Spiritual Life, assisting with services, and teaching. He is also a member of Spiritual Directors International; Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal; Network of Spiritual Progressives; and T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights. He regularly teaches Torah study, biblical Hebrew language, Jewish meditation and prayer, and Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). He is currently engaged in a project translating Torah, making the original Hebrew available to English readers. ALL are welcome to join us in the chapel at 3:00 on Friday afternoons.

  • Jumpin’ Juba Band

    01/07/2019

    Hand-made music, presented live and in real time. In the words of Steve Hurl, the band’s leader, Jumpin’ Juba is New Orleans swamp-rock, classic boogie-woogie, folk, Memphis rock & roll, and a playful use of everything from calypso to country stirred into the one blue stew. If you haven’t heard them yet at Southgate, what are you waiting for?

  • Women’s Circle Breakfast

    9:15 am-11:00 am
    01/09/2019

    As we know, the science of evolution has been controversial ever since Charles Darwin first published “The Origin of Species” in 1859. At our Women’s Circle Breakfast on January 9, Professor Owen Sholes will talk to us about exactly that in his presentation titled “Evolution All Around Us.” We see evidence of the long history of evolution in fossils, but living things continue to evolve today, often in ways that matter to us. Influenza viruses, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and even African elephants are changing in surprising and important ways. How do living things evolve and what, if anything, should we do in response? Professor Sholes recently retired from Assumption College. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology from Cornell University. He came to Assumption College in 1978 and taught courses in ecology, evolution, invertebrate zoology, environmental science, and botany for 40 years. His book, “Stopping By Woods: Robert Frost as New England Naturalist,” was published this year.

These include things like getting comfortable with antivirus software, avoiding pitfalls when surfing the web, managing your passwords, securing your e-mail, steering clear of social media pitfalls, and online shopping do’s and don’ts. The goal of his presentation is to provide attendees with some simple ways they can minimize their risk when using the internet.
