The Episcopal Home
Puts the "personal" in personal care

Woven In Mission
We have received over 300 postcards from parishioners all over the diocese as a result of Episcopal Home Mission Sunday. Your responses are heartwarming and range from personal wishes, scripture, inspirational quotes, and even drawings from children. It's encouraging to know that we're remembered and cherished by our diocesan family.

Your kind words and prayers touch our hearts, and we will continue to share them with our residents .

Even Better!
As reported last month, our Burd Street sign was beautifully restored by Hannaman Sign Crafters in Carlisle. As happens with many improvements, the freshness of the refurbished sign amplified the fact that the plantings around it were shabby and overgrown. Mary Grace and Laura B. to the rescue! A trip to the greenhouse and a couple of hours of work resulted new plantings that brighten the entire area.
She's Baaaaaaack!
We're thrilled to welcome back our friend, Amber Tucker. Amber is in her senior year at Shippensburg University. She is a biology major with a minor in gerontology. Amber volunteered here last year, and now she is returning as our student intern.

Grab a Camera - We Want Your Photos!

Help build our Episcopal Home online photo collage by adding your photo (or any photo that represents you) to our gallery. Everyone who supports the Home and its mission is invited to participate, separately or as a group. Our marketing team plans to create an image in which we all appear as small parts of a bigger picture. Hint: If you attend an Episcopal church, it would be easy to catch up with folks there, take their photos, and then upload them on our website. Click below to see how.
C'mon and join the fun - let's see how many photos we can collect!

Our Resident Fashionista

Recently, Mary Grace and Dolly visited the Fashion Archives and Museum of Shippensburg University where they enjoyed viewing a collection of fashions inspired by period novels. Dolly reports that it was "a delightful hour." She has a keen interest in fashion. Dolly began working for Vogue in New York City during her senior year of high school. She remembers walking through Grand Central Station to the 19th floor of the Graybar building where Vogue's offices were located. She attended classes for half of her school day, and during the other half, worked with the art director of Vogue magazine, helping him decide what would appear in the following month's issue. After high school, she remained with Vogue's art department, designing pattern envelopes. After 5 years there, she went to work for Butterick patterns. Her job there was to figure out the most efficient ways to lay out pattern pieces on fabric. Dolly's love of fashion continues to this day, as evidenced by her clothing choices and accessories.
