A Talk on Seaport City in Ancient Palestine

A lecture on the archeology and history of Caesarea Maritima, a seaport city in ancient Palestine, will be presented by University of Colorado Prof. Robert Hohlfelder on Tuesday evening at the Laguna Hills United Methodist Church.

After archeological research begun in 1980 revealed new historical and cultural information on Caesarea Maritima, the city became the subject of a National Geographic Society documentary. Museums throughout the United States have had exhibits based on the new data.

The lecture, the first in a series on the theme of biblical archeology, will begin at 7 p.m. at the church, 24442 Moulton Parkway. Laguna Hills United Methodist Church and Temple Judea are sponsoring the event. For more information, call Charles Gunnerson at (714) 768-9484.

Singer-songwriter Shlomo Carlebach will be in concert Sunday at 7 p.m. at Temple Beth Shalom, 2625 N. Tustin Ave., Santa Ana. The concert is presented in memory of Rabbi Robert J. Bergmant and will include favorite Carlebach songs. Proceeds will benefit the Program for the Developmentally Disabled at the Jewish Community Center of Central Orange County and the Rabbi Robert J. Bergman Memorial Fund. Rabbi Carlebach has just returned from a Jewish music tour of the Soviet Union, which he will share with patrons and sponsors in a pre-concert reception at 6 p.m. Advanced tickets are $12.50; $15 at the door, $5 for students; children are admitted free. For reservations, call (714) 539-6359 or 897-2342.

Peggy Owen Clark, the regional minister of the Pacific and Southwest Region of the Christian Church, will be the guest preacher at both the 9 and 10:30 a.m. services Sunday at Shepherd of the Hills Church, 30121 Niguel Road, Laguna Niguel.
