UMC - Abundant Life for Seniors

Last week we held a special gathering at the UMC Home Office, as our team was treated to a sneak peek of President & CEO Mark Lenhard’s upcoming TEDxCapeMay presentation on "Re-envisioning Aging Successfully." We also surprised Mark with a fun little birthday celebration, capped off with a delicious cake that was out of this galaxy! Be there this Sunday, October 5th at the Cape May Convention Hall, to hear from Mark and the rest of the 2025 TEDxCapeMay speakers. Get your tickets now: https://lnkd.in/egmA4KGj

A big MAHALO to our incredible Dining Services teammates and our valued partners at Sodexo for creating such a wonderful luau for our Pitman Manor residents! It was such a fun day to be a part of, as the entire community enjoyed a full island-inspired spread, including a pig roast and authentic Hawaiian dishes, along with vibrant décor that brought the spirit of the islands right to Pitman!

UMC and the UMC Foundation had a fantastic time at the Garden State Arts Foundation's latest FREE concert, Malt Shop Memories Live III, this past Friday night at the PNC Bank Arts Center, the first evening show of the Fall 2025 season! With a full crowd and timeless hits that had everyone on their feet, it was an unforgettable evening of music and community. We were grateful for the chance to connect with so many attendees throughout the night and to share in such a joyful experience together. We’re excited to keep the season going with "An Afternoon of Music & Memories" on Monday, September 29 at 1:30 PM. FREE TICKETS:

We extend our sincere appreciation to Tammi Simcox and Bespoke Living for their outstanding partnership in bringing this project to life at Bristol Glen!

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. https://lnkd.in/e_dqevUy
