Last month’s holidays brought lots of holiday spirit to Broomall. The Marple community held its…

For more than 80 years, Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Broomall has been caring for its members who are in need with prayers, love or help.

This month we are pleased to introduce you to the Poot family: Melissa, Jeff and their four young children. While pursuing careers in the medical field, Melissa and Jeff had the opportunity to live in several towns across the state of Pennsylvania.

When residents here are asked where they live, some will say Broomall, while others will say say Marple, or Marple Township. So which is correct? And why are people confused about where we live?

During this month of giving, we’re pleased to feature Heather Griesser LaPierre, Founder and Director of Kids Against Hunger Philadelphia (KAHP), who gives her time, talents, energy and resources to those in need.
