The Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina opens its arms to all people to join in this opportunity to reflect on and celebrate our statewide history. “The Commemoration of the Baptisms of Manteo and Virginia Dare at the Lost Colony” will be held at the Waterside Theatre in Manteo, NC on August 17th. This event marks the baptisms of Manteo, a Native American, and Virginia Dare, the first child born to English settlers on the North American continent. Not only is this event important to those in the church, but it is an important piece of North Carolina’s culture, racially and historically. “This is the heritage of our state,” said the Rt. Rev. Clifton Daniel, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina. “This baptism marked a peaceful beginning to multi-cultural relations in North America. A commemoration of this event allows us as a people to reflect on this beginning and the changes that have shaped our nation and shed light on the challenges we face today.” This celebration will be at 3 p.m. with a reception afterwards. For those planning to attend, please contact Jimi Paderick (252) 522-0885 ext. 233.

New Innovations of Caring With a Heart

Angirudy Home Care Services, Inc. was founded by a family who believes that all people deserve to be cared for and treated with concern and respect. Upon speaking with several senior citizens in the community who felt alone and uncared for, it was decided that it was time to use a simple, but commonly underused principle of “Caring with a heart” as the basis for work done in the surrounding county communities. People today are wanting something more. They are wanting a more meaningful relationship with their caregivers. People are growing disenchanted with services who see them as numbers and not individuals. Angirudy Home Care Services, Inc. is a direct result of the growing demand for caregivers who actually care. Mahatma Gandhi said, “You must become the change in the world that you want to see” and Angirudy Home Care Services is doing just that by “caring with a heart”. Angirudy Home Care Services, Inc.
