Spring Rushes In

This year, the spring selling season has kicked off with an early, energetic start. Sales associates are reporting increased showings at open houses, multiple offers on properties and offers above asking price - often within weeks or days. The market now favors sellers, making buyers anxious to take advantage of low interest rates and lower prices before they rise. Check the links to the right to see the activity in our community, or ask me for an overview of local current market trends. Here are a few tips for both buyers and sellers that should make the process easier.


Buyers, review your credit score. A solid score can help you lock in a lower interest rate and get a mortgage pre-approval, which you will need in this fast-paced environment. Determine your housing preferences and contact me for professional assistance through the entire process.

Sellers, homes are selling quickly, so you'll need to do some spring cleaning, painting and sprucing. Have an inspection done and address key issues before placing your home on the market. If you are thinking of placing your home on the market, contact me today. I will complete a competitive market analysis, review competing homes and determine the inventory levels in your locale and price point.

Tragedy Strikes at Heart of America http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5730 Kevin E. Dayhoff April 17, 2013

The cheers of joy and excitement quickly turned to screams of terror on Monday at 2:50 in the afternoon when an act of senseless horror shattered the 117th running of the Boston Marathon, arguable the world’s oldest and most prestigious endurance foot race.

The marathon is traditionally held on Patriots Day in Boston and the holiday had blossomed into a beautiful spring day. The Massachusetts state holiday “commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution in 1775.”

The Boston Marathon brings-out approximately 500,000 spectators and visitors to the city for what can be described as Christmas and New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.

The bombs shattered the celebrations of the runners, families, and spectators- and once again, shook us to our core. The heinous act served as an unwelcome reminder that no one is safe anywhere in a world where senseless acts of violence are perpetrated upon the innocent to promote a political or ideological agenda… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5730

Time is Running Out! You Could Make the Difference!

So far this year, 53 rostered leaders in the Delaware-Maryland Synod who are covered under the ELCA Health Plan have taken the Portico health assessment and have earned the $150 bonus that comes with completing the confidential survey. This means we need 47 more people in order to reach the required 65% participation rate by April 30, 2013, and realize an estimated $33,000 in health premium savings. Also, the synod will receive a sizable grant for a health and wellness project benefiting plan members. Last year, we fell short by just two people, reaching 64.33% and missing out on significant savings. Help us to avoid a similar fate this year, click
here to take the health assessment TODAY.

Please be a good steward and complete the health assessment!

The musicians of the G-D trio, with years of experience and training at Penn, Chicago, and the Hart School of Music - along with some special friends - are volunteering their talents to lift spirits out of any "Mood Indigo," steel resolve to "Take the A Train" to peace, and celebrate hope and "Jump for Joy" on behalf of reducing gun violence and building a more peaceful Philadelphia.

Communicating Our Ministries

Following an ELCA Region 8 consultation gathering of synod leaders in the areas of Global Mission, Hunger, Malaria Campaign, and Companion Synod relationships last fall, Assistant to the Bishop Ron Schlak and other leaders thought it helpful to raise awareness of what congregations in our DE-MD Synod are doing.   We are a synod; we are congregations who walk together.  We are not isolated, but are connected to other congregations in conference, cluster, and synod relationships.  It would be good if we could intentionally communicate our ministries to one another.  This "Communicating our Ministries" team hopes to electronically lift up the ministries that are happening in our DE-MD Synod congregations. By listing ministries that congregations are involved with, there would be an opportunity for congregations to make connections with each other and perhaps reach out to neighboring congregations to expand ministries.  The Communicating our Ministries Team would like to begin by focusing on the areas of Hunger and Malaria. We are hoping to get a concerted response from congregations at our 2013 Synod Assembly about how your congregation is responding to Hunger (both local and World Hunger) and the Malaria Campaign/Lutheran Malaria Initiative. Watch for more information to come.


A Day of Service

Sunday, Sept. 8, 2013 has been set as a dedicated day of service -- "God's work. Our hands." Sunday -- lifting up the 25th anniversary of the ELCA. To assist you, information and resources are available at www.ELCA.org/25years. In particular, look for a bulletin insert that can be shared. In May, the ELCA will offer congregations a downloadable "toolkit" designed to help plan for the dedicated day of service, as well as other resources.


Concert to Benefit the Anti-Malaria Campaign 

The Churches of the Baltimore East Conference will be holding a special concert on Sunday, April 21st beginning at 3 PM at St. Peter's Lutheran Church (Eastpoint). Donations will be accepted to support the ELCA's anti-Malaria campaign. Concert music will be a mixture of traditional and contemporary, vocal and instrumental. The Baltimore East Chapter of Thrivent has generously offered a matching grant up to $500. Please come and continue to celebrate the joy of Easter while suppoprting this very worthy cause. For more questions, please contact Pastor Matt Fuhrman - 443.710.7007.


Fabric Needed 

Marg Goodlin is recruiting quilts and blankets for infants in the NICU at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia, where her daughter works as a NICU doctor.  Children's fabrics are needed.  More than 100 quilts have been collected so far, and there are quilters who are willing to make more, but who have run out of fabrics.  Donations would be gratefully accepted.  For more information or to coordinate pickup or delivery of fabrics, call Marg Goodlin at 443.319.5499 or email by clicking here.
