St. Paul’s Volunteers
40 Years of Celebrations!
Volunteers have been an important part
of St. Paul’s history since its very beginning
nearly 150 years ago but on April 13, the
Department of Volunteer Services celebrated 40 years of recognizing those volunteers
for their service during its annual dinner in
Headland Friendship Commons, The Villas.
Past directors were honored, the first being Gayle Wolff, then the late Doris Wiand,
Carolyn Wickerham, Patricia Krumpak,
and currently Rose Hoffman. Each shared a
memory with the crowd of 167 volunteers
in attendance.
St. Paul’s Executive Director G. Bryan
Oros, who is retiring on July 31, thanked the
directors for their years of service and for
developing the Volunteer Services Department into what it means to St. Paul’s today.
“When people think of a senior home,
they think it is a place where people go to
die,” he said. “Today, we are a place where
people come to live and I credit our staff and
volunteers for that – for making life just that
much better for our residents, making their
lives the best we can every day.”
In 2015, 249 volunteers provided 19,631
hours of service to St. Paul’s, Oros said.
Furthermore, the need for volunteers will
always be great and he has plans for himself to become involved as a volunteer upon
retirement.

he arrival of Spring brings hope for life anew as the sun shines longer, trees begin to bud,
flowers bloom and critters of all sorts begin to move about. With Spring, also comes an
opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our residents in a powerful way by contributing
to St. Paul’s Good Samaritan annual appeal.
The appeal raises monies to offset the cost of benevolent and unfunded care that is provided to
residents who can no longer afford the full cost of his or her care. Last year, more than $25,000
was generously donated by 221 friends of St. Paul’s. No amount is too little, and every gift is
greatly appreciated!
It is the support from our “Good Samaritans” that helps make it possible for St. Paul’s to fulfill
its mission to provide meaning, richness of life, health care, and other support services, while
maintaining and enhancing the dignity of human life.
To learn how you can make a difference, please contact Director of Development Diane O’Brien
at 724-588-9613, Ext. 1237 or email [email protected] or Development Specialist Bonnie
Benton at Ext. 1214 or email [email protected].
Please consider supporting the residents of St. Paul’s with a gift to the 2016 Good Samaritan Appeal!
The official registration and financial information of St. Paul’s may be obtained from the PA Department of State
by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.

Cornerstone
Cravings
By Beckie Erwin, St. Paul’s Marketing Specialist
There is something about “sweet and sour” that makes me
scrinch up my face, but I love the taste combination. Who had
the bright idea that adding vinegar to sugar would be a tasty
thing? And really, who cares? I’m just glad someone did! The
Cornerstone recently featured a sweet and sour chicken dish
that was ... you guessed it, AWESOME. I loved it. Served over
wild rice, this dish was perfectly made. Thank you, Cornerstone
chefs, for featuring this yummy recipe. If you didn’t get to try it
on the specials menu in April, watch for it again and don’t miss
ordering it.
Coming up on May 8 is the second Annual Mother’s Day
Buffet (see the ad above). This event is special to The Cornerstone because last year’s buffet marked the very first day the
restaurant opened to the public. Make your reservations soon for
this buffet because tables in all three seatings fill up fast. There
are many delicious items offered and fresh food is put out on the
buffet table as needed and for each seating. It’s a great place to
honor Mom for her special day!
Do you have, read, prowl, or otherwise “do” Facebook?
Nearly every day, The Cornerstone is featured in some way on
The St. Paul’s Facebook page. Each week, the Sunday brunch
and specials menus are posted there, so check it out and stay on
top of what Chef Adam and his team are offering! If you “LIKE”
the St. Paul’s page (not just the posts), it will pop up on your
timeline so you won’t miss a tasty thing!
In mid-April, a ladies Red Hat group called The Happy Hatters of Harmonsburg met in The Cornerstone. They were a great
group and kept true to their name, keeping the staff and each
other laughing. It is one of the best things about having The Cornerstone here in the building where I work - hearing the chatter
and laughter coming from down the hall every day. It’s pretty
nice to be able to order lunch so conveniently, too! (winky face)
A few Saturdays ago, several groups of people enjoyed dinner at The Cornerstone prior to a local concert at Thiel College.
The “extra” special that night was prime rib. It was so tender I
cut it with my fork. What a wonderful way to begin our evening.
Now that The Cornerstone is open on Saturday evenings, it is
the ideal place to go before any local event. Greenville is blessed
with terrific entertainment options and great restaurants like The
Cornerstone.
When it comes to good food and friendship, be sure to think
about The Cornerstone for your next lunch or dinner get together. You can provide your own bottle of wine or beer - which I
love because I can enjoy my favorite wine that most restaurants
do not carry.
Until next month ... it’s all good.

Pastor Julia Fraser to lead
Loss Support Group
beginning May 5
at St. Paul’s
St. Paul’s has for a long time sponsored a monthly
Grief & Loss Support group for family members of residents who have died in our care, as well as for staff members and members of the community who seek help and
encouragement for their bereavement. For over a decade,
leadership of these monthly meetings has been provided
by Family Hospice, which recently announced they will
no longer be offering this service.
We at St. Paul’s, however, think a Grief & Loss Support
group is an important way to show care for our families
and neighbors in their time of need, so we will continue
this monthly opportunity ourselves. Beginning May 5,
Pastor Julia Fraser will assume leadership of the monthly
meetings. The meeting schedule remains the same – the
first Thursday of the month from 6:30-8 p.m. in The Villas Conference Room. For more information, please call
724-588-7610 and ask for Pastor Julia or Robyn Weaver.

Passover Seder
Pastor Bill Kirker offered a Passover Seder meal to his Bible
Studies. The Passover Seder, which means order or arrangement, is a Jewish ritual feast that marks the beginning of the
Jewish holiday of Passover. It is conducted on the evening
of the 15th day of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar throughout
the world, so late March to early April. The Passover Seder
plate (ke’ara) is a special plate containing symbolic foods
used during the Passover Seder. Each of the six items arranged on the plate has special significance to the retelling
of the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The seventh symbolic item used during the meal—a stack of three matzot—is
placed on its own plate on the Seder table.
Quintet to offer special music on May 22
On Sunday, May 22, which is the Festival of the Holy Trinity, we will welcome back the Mercer Community Band Clarinet Quintet to provide
special music for our three worship services on that day. The group, led by
Courtney Costa, has been to St. Paul’s several times, enjoy coming, and are
always a treat to hear. Plan now to attend!
New banners in HFC given in memory of Burt Crawford
Greenville Salvation Army visited
residents in March to deliver
angels and lap robes hand made
by the League of Mercy.
Stop in and see the new worship banner hanging in Headland Friendship
Commons which says, “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in
prayer.” It is one of three banners given in loving memory of former Heritage
and Villas resident Burt Crawford by his children. All three banners will be
dedicated during the 10 a.m. worship service in the Villas on Sunday, June 12.
Volunteers are needed to help transport residents to
and from Wednesday evening services in The Villas.
Please consider assisting us
with this important mission.
Call 724-588-7610 and ask for Rose Hoffman,
director of Volunteer Services. Thank you!

A Message from Pastor Bill
Wake Up America!
Those words represent the theme this year for the National Day of Prayer, which will be observed on May 5.
The National Day of Prayer was created by a joint resolution of Congress in 1952 and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988 the law was amended establishing the first Thursday in May as the date.
The first call for prayer for the nation goes back to 1775 when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom
in forming a nation. Through the years there have been 144 national calls to prayer. Among the most well known is the one by
President Lincoln’s proclamation of a day of “humiliation, fasting, and prayer” in 1863 as the nation was bitterly torn by the Civil
War.
The efforts to organize and promote public gatherings for prayer on that day are guided by the National Day of Prayer Task Force,
headed by Shirley Dobson. This year the honorary chair is Dr. Tony Evans.
The privately funded Task Force also encourages personal repentance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed
in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
In reflecting on this year’s theme and some of the challenges that our
nation faces Shirley Dobson reminds us: “We have lost many of our freedoms in America because we have been asleep. I feel if we do not become
involved and support the annual National Day of Prayer, we could end
up forfeiting this freedom, too.”
I encourage you to attend one and participate if you are able in one of
the many public gatherings across our land on May 5, including one at
noon in Central Park in Greenville. If that is not possible please consider devoting time to personal prayer and reflection sometime that day.

Attention Villas families:
If you are bringing in clothing for your family
member, we like to be sure the items are labeled
with the resident’s name.
Please give them to your nurse or aide and they
will make sure they are sent to the appropriate
department for labeling.
Attention Dog Owners!
St. Paul’s is proud to be an Eden Home, where families
are able to bring their family pet in to visit with loved
ones, but with so many dogs visiting we ask that you
please leash your pet while going from room to room.
This is for the protection of our residents as well as for
the other dogs here visiting.
If you have any questions, please see Missy Nitch, Pet
Committee leader. Thank you for your cooperation.
Also - just a reminder: if you bring your pet in to visit
any of our residents, we must have a copy of their current vaccination record on file.
The receptionists are able to make those copies and
then they will forward them to Robyn Weaver.
If you are unsure if there is already a current record
on file, please feel free to contact Robyn at 724-5887610, ext. 1173.
Note: All clothing should be labeled for
inventory purposes. Thank you.

has grown exponentially,”
Oros
said. “And it will
continue to grow.
Remember, it is
always the little
things that matter
and I can’t tell you
how much I appreciate what you all do for our residents.”
Hoffman thanked everyone in attendance
for all they do for the residents, saying St. Paul’s
could not possibly serve them so well without
their efforts. She thanked Mr. Oros “for all of
your support in recognizing the value of our
volunteers.”
He then toasted the volunteers with sparkling juice that decorated the tables. Pastor
Glenn Sadler then toasted Oros and his 38-year
career, after which he handed him a volunteer
application.
Each volunteer in attendance received a
certificate toward the purchase of a piece of St.
Paul’s apparel of their choice as a gift from St.
Paul’s in honor of the 40th anniversary.
Those honored for their milestone anniversary year and receiving their traditional gift for
years of service were as follows: Millie McLaughline, 20 years; Hope Scott, 15 years; Ann Fowler
and Jeanne Graham, 10 years; Ronald Brumagin, Linda Cooley-Smith, Janet Cooper, George
Erwin, Vicki Jewell, Faye Tate, Jackie Weyman,
and Brandon Wolford, five years.
A video tribute to all volunteers was created and presented by Rita Clemente, director of
Colony Living and Community Outreach.
Invocation was given by Pastor Bill Kirker.
