Hello Ray,
Margaret and I were enrolled in term 2 and are very disappointed that your class cannot continue for this term.Thursday is the best day for us and we hope that the class will continue in term 3 either face to face or on zoom. At least we have the your notes to peruse. Many thanks for all the hard work you put into the presentations.
?Blessings,
Hi Linda,
These are great ideas for serious consideration.? Thank you very much.? The only one that I'm not keen on is Facebook as I harbour a visceral dislike for Big Tech, which I consider satanic; but that doesn't really relate to Australia.? But all four are worthy ideas.
I also wish you a Blessed Easter!? He is Risen!
Blessings,
Ray
Hi Dear Ray,? Sincere apologies? for my late? ? re- enrollment? this? second semester , I've been on a bit of a roller coaster .? I too am saddened to read of the lack of interest . ?I? certainly hope and pray that interested scholars are guided to your most valuable classes.? I truly? would love to continue with your classes.? ?They enrich and feed my Biblical knowledge and depth of understanding with every class. , I am happy with in person and if possible via? zoom? when in transit to Drs. Just an? few ideas,?? maybe an interview or ad on the 96.5 radio channel? , Some mature aged? Christian groups might appreciate the depth? of? extra? Bible research and history? ?? Christian aged care facilities probably,? if zoom classes were available as well . Christian Facebook groups ,?? ?Wishes for a Blessed Easter weekend and prayers for a? much needed breakthrough for no's? Stay well. On Fri, 15 Apr 2022 at 15:36, Peter W Ray ?
The current time on Thursdays is good for me – but I could also fit in a Monday or Friday about the same time or a little earlier. ?
Kind regards ? Peter ?

Thanks for your kind words.?? Per your suggestion, I have emailed everyone from last term but with just six days to go I felt it important to respect U3A's procedures.? Despite this being a Zoom class, it falls under their ambit.? Still, good idea, I'll keep an eye on U3A enrollments. Over the past few terms, a number of potential enrollees have indicated that the Thursday date was the deal-breaker for them.? Are there better days or times to hold the course from your perspective?

Less than a week away from commencing our Term 2 classes for U3A course R09?What the Bible is About - An Informed Appreciation of the Bible, enrolment is below the minimum required to hold the course.? This has unfortunately happened to many of the U3A courses. As a result, I am saddened to announce that the course will not be held for Term 2, which commences next week. At present, I intend to resume classes in Term 3 2022 which runs from 11 July to 16 September, possibly resuming face-to-face (F2F) classes or in a mixed F2F/Zoom mode.? With your permission, I'll keep your email addresses so that I can keep you informed at that time. Since 2017, we have covered 52 of the 66 books of the Bible.? That's nearly 80%, and I have materials drafted or prepared for most of the remainder.??Please email me with any suggestions that might support the revival of R09.? I'm especially interested in any ideas on repackaging or marketing the course to help attract new enrollees and revive the interest that you and so many others have shown over the past five years. Thank you for your interest in R09.? It's been a real blessing to me.
