Summer 2020 has been a different time at St. Paul’s, but our team continues to give our
residents opportunities to smile and enjoy the beautiful summer weather we’ve been
having. Parades have been held all over campus, giving friends and family a chance to
show support and deliver waves, smiles, blown kisses and goodies to their loved ones.

Westcoat Retires After 55 years of Service to
St. Paul’s Board
On Wednesday, July 15, St. Paul’s Board of Directors recognized
and honored Rev. Dr. Paul Westcoat for his 55 years of service to the
Board. In April 2020, the Board of Directors ratified Dr. Westcoat as
Board Member Emeritus. Dr. Westcoat retired in July 2020 activating his
Emeritus status.
Dr. Westcoat served on a number of committees during his service
to St. Paul’s including the Farm committee early on and most recently
the Development Committee. Dr. Westcoat always prioritized his
representation of the Penn West Conference. Significant memories
during his years of service include the closing of the Children’s Home in
1971 and hiring G. Bryan Oros as our Executive Director.
Mr. Oros was the first Executive Director that was not a pastor and
was not a member of the United Church of Christ. Mr. Oros was in fact a
Catholic but according to Dr. Westcoat, “Bryan was the best man for the
job and we needed the best leadership in the field to carry us into the
future.”
Dr. Westcoat shared, “I view these 55 years as great years but
I’ve come to a place in my life where I recognize there is a lot that
I need to quit doing and traveling long distances is one of those
things.” Dr. Westcoat traveled from Greensburg to Greenville. For
many years, committees would meet at Kaufman’s Restaurant in
Zelienople, Pa., making it easier for board members in that region
to take part.
Bryan Oros, Chris Wright, CEO and President; and Julie Hills,
Vice Chair, shared memories of Dr. Westcoat’s service. Rev. June
Boutwell presented Dr. Westcoat a certificate for years of service.
In closing, Chris Wright reminded Dr. Westcoat that he can
remain as engaged in the business of St. Paul’s as much as he
desires and is able to. That’s something he will look forward to
saying, “When I began my tenure with St. Paul’s I didn’t think about
this day and now that it’s here I have a yearning to stay connected!”

Opportunities for
Gifts of Appreciation to Staff
Many residents, clients and families often ask how they
can give back and say “Thank You” to the staff who have
provided excellent care to their loved ones while living at St.
Paul’s. These three funds give you the opportunity to do so:
1. A donation may be made to the Staff Appreciation
Fund. This fund enables St. Paul’s to recognize all staff.
(i.e., to provide staff apparel, staff appreciation picnics,
or gift cards for various occasions.)
2. A donation can be made to the Staff Education Fund.
You can define the education opportunity or leave it to O N ED e
TP otic
the administrator’s discretion. P O S ther n
r
3. A donation of appreciation can be made to the Annual
n t il fu
Staff Christmas Party. This donation can be given to u
the administrator or director and identified for the Staff
Christmas Party and will be used to offset the cost and
for staff gifts the night of the party.
If you would like to make a donation to staff for anything
outside of these three funds, please see your administrator or
director to talk about specifics.
Employees may not accept individual gifts, cash or
currency of any kind from a resident or family member.
We appreciate your support of these guidelines in order
for us to remain compliant with regulations and our
corporate compliance policies.

Meet our New Chaplain, Pastor Nathan Seckinger
Wednesday Evening
Worship Broadcasts Greetings St. Paul residents, family,
friends and staff–
Wednesdays I’ve been asked to share a little more
6:30 p.m. about myself. To do that I need to
introduce my wife to you all. Her name
on Channel 1851 is Joyce and we’ve been married 34
years. As I used to tell our kids, she
is the love of my life. A friend, partner,
Psalms & Prayer helpmate and confidant. We live on
Coal Hill Rd, in Greenville on what my
Evening Devotions grandfather would call a gentleman’s
farm. I’ve decided that means not big enough to make a profit, but
with Pastor Nathan large enough to spend on all sorts of wonderful things! Right now we
have three dogs: Winnie a 100 plus pound border collie mix, Bandit a
shi-poo, and Tucker a Boston terrier which is less than a year old. We

A Message from Pastor Julia
In years past, we have put out a call this time of year for donations of school supplies to be distributed to students in need
through the Good Shepherd Center. This year, I ask for a different kind of in-kind donation: prayers for the new school year ahead
and all the children, young people, teachers, administrators, support staff, and family members who will be involved.
We have a rich history of education here at St. Paul’s. Many of our residents were themselves school teachers or professors
across their professional careers, among them, Villas resident, Evelyn Kaufman, 105, who began teaching at the Columbia School
in the Greenville School district and taught subsequently in other schools as well. Many others are proud and successful graduates
of local school districts, colleges, or universities, not to mention grand/great-grand/ or even great-great-grandparents of current
students. We have been blessed with youth volunteers across the years from St. Michael’s, East Elementary, and Commodore
Perry, Greenville, Jamestown, Conneaut Lake and Reynolds High Schools and have regularly welcomed interns from Thiel College.
And, of course, many of our staff members are parents of school-aged children and in the thick of it all.
Support for education and concern about how that will happen this fall in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic is something
that unites us all. Regardless of our opinions as to how to go about it, we are united by a desire for children and young people to
learn and grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially in a safe and healthy environment. We are united by a desire for teachers and
other school personnel to enjoy good health and well-being as they use their gifts to encourage, challenge, mold, and inspire. And,
I believe, as people of faith and goodwill, we have a lot to offer in terms of prayer resources: an ongoing relationship with the God
who hears all prayer, time to do it, and confidence in its benevolent effect.
I’m sure every school year comes with its own hurdles, but it’s hard to imagine any more complex than this year’s, with such
important needs like education and socialization, on the one hand, and health and safety, on the other, in potential conflict. Let us
pray regularly and in a heartfelt manner for a good outcome for the school year ahead and for creativity, patience, good judgment,
and divine help for all who work together in pursuit of that.

Pymatuning Outboard Motor Club Celebrates Christmas in July
and Donates Gifts to Residents
On July 18, the Pymatuning Outboard Motor Club held its first “Christmas in July” event.
The club members had decided to get together for fellowship and to use the event as an
effort to support a need in the community. St. Paul’s was selected as the recipient. Several
residents of St. Paul’s have been members of the boating club in the past.
In June, Mimi Dreher, Director of Life Enrichment at The Villas, provided the club
membership with a list of suggested items that residents would enjoy and find useful. Club
members filled boxes and bags of items that were delivered to St. Paul’s on July 23 by
members Sandy Scott and Judy Tarr.
Items included puzzles,
playing cards, greeting cards and
stationary, lotions, snacks and
much more. In addition, some
club members gave a monetary gift to be used for hair care. Residents will surely
appreciate this gift when our St. Paul’s salons re-open!
A big shout out of thanks to all of the members of the Pymatuning Outboard
Motor Club for such a special gift. The club has decided this event will be annual and
similar gifts will be gathered each year for residents at The Villas, The Heritage and
The Ridgewood.
The club’s
membership consists of more than 200 members with nearly 185 boats
docked at Pymatuning Lake. The first Christmas in July gathering was much August a Mystery Month

SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 — POSITIVE QUOTES AND INSPIRATIONS DAY — “Faith Sees the Invisible,
Believes the Unbelievable, and Receives the Impossible.” ~ Corrie ten Boom. “A Dutch Christian
watchmaker, Corrie and other family members helped hundreds of Jewish people escape during the
Holocaust of World War II by hiding them in her home. She believed her actions were following the will of
God. They were betrayed and caught. She was arrested and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts the story of her family’s efforts
and how she found hope in God while she was imprisoned at the concentration camp.” (Wikipedia.org).
Perseverance of the human spirit in difficult times…Inspiring!

residents were “windbags” and “full of hot air.”
FRIDAY, AUGUST 28 — DREAMSICLES AND OUTDOORS DAY — Enjoy the day with Dreamsicles
and other Frozen Treats! If the weather is nice, enjoy the outdoors! On this day in 1963 in Washington, D.C.,

most iconic and pivotal speeches in American History.
16Drive by Greetings Parades continue all around campus! The Villas–by neighborhoods—held four parades in July
and have scheduled another set to be held in August (see page 16 for details).
Families, friends and neighbors lined up in their cars decorated with signs, and balloons and even brought gifts for
their loved ones and candy to share with their neighbors. They brought babies and pets to wave out the windows, too.
Residents lined the sidewalks, also with signs and messages letting their families know they are all doing well. Enjoy
