Collingswood Manor, a UMC Community

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Collingswood Manor's annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest! 🎃

Each department joined in the fun by creating their own festive pumpkin, as our residents and teammates were tasked in casting their votes to determine the winner.

This year’s top pumpkin was the beautiful floral creation from our Volunteer Services team. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special!

From the TEDxCape May stage at Cape May Convention Hall on October 5th, Mark Lenhard will propose a transformative shift in understanding what it means to “age successfully.”

Moving beyond the traditional quantitative markers of senior healthcare, Mark will emphasize the importance of qualitative aspects of quality of life. He will explore how both traditional and unexpected partners can collaborate with senior living providers to reframe aging as positive, natural experience. By taking a “hopeful contrarian” approach to questioning and re-examining traditional methods, this presentation will chart a course towards innovative practices that challenge stereotypes and create and environment where aspiration for life can continue at any age.

UMC continues to mourn the loss of Rev. Edward H. Carll, who served as a powerful voice for our organization, most recently as Chair of the UMC Board of Directors.

Many of our teammates, including our senior leadership team and UMC President & CEO Mark Lenhard were honored to attend a service in his memory this past Friday at the Haddonfield United Methodist Church, where so many came together to celebrate Ed's life and impact.

With over a decade of service to both UMC and the UMCF, Ed’s wisdom, humor, and generosity touched countless lives and inspired all of us to work together in service of others. Our thoughts are with his wife, Gabriele, and their son, Christopher, during this difficult time

Although we feel his absence deeply, Ed’s legacy of kindness, leadership, and bringing people together will continue to guide and inspire all of us.

This past Friday, many UMC and UMCF teammates, board members, and several residents gathered at Haddonfield United Methodist Church to celebrate the life and impact of our dear friend, Rev.… Continue reading Honoring the Life and Legacy of Rev. Edward H. Carll
