Mississippi’s First and Only Boutique Luxury Assisted Living Residence Now Accepting Priority Deposits

GLUCKSTADT, MS, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Oaks Residence, Mississippi’s first and only boutique luxury assisted living community, has officially opened its priority waitlist ahead of its highly anticipated April 2026 grand opening.

With just 15 private suites available, The Oaks is now accepting deposits to secure placement in what is already becoming one of the most talked-about residential openings in Madison County.

Designed as a refined alternative to traditional assisted living facilities, The Oaks blends personalized care with hospitality-inspired living, offering residents and families a level of belonging, care, and luxury previously unavailable in Mississippi.

“This isn’t a facility. It’s a home,” said Chad Phillips, President/CEO of The Oaks Residence. “We created The Oaks for families who want more than safety and support. They want peace of mind, personalized care, beauty, strong community, and a place where their loved ones are truly known.”

A First-of-Its-Kind Model in Mississippi

The Oaks Residence introduces a new and proven category of senior living to the state. This is a leading model across the country for assisted living as a boutique residential-styled assisted living home supported by an exceptional five-to-one resident-to-caregiver ratio. The Oaks Residence is limited to 15 suites, offering an intimate scale that feels like home while still offering the desired amenities, activities and lifestyle preferences with everything just a short stroll away rather than a long trek.

Unlike larger institutional communities, The Oaks was intentionally designed to foster meaningful relationships and daily connection. There are no long corridors or impersonal dining halls. Instead, residents gather together for executive chef-prepared meals, enjoy refined living spaces and amenities, and experience concierge-level service woven into an exceptional care experience. This level of support and community creates a feeling of knowing and being known. It also empowers each resident to have the independence they need to spend their days the way they desire.

Opening in April 2026 in Gluckstadt, The Oaks will serve families throughout Madison County, including Reunion, Lake Caroline, Panther Creek, Bridgewater, and the greater Jackson area.

Why The Oaks Matters

Across Mississippi, families have long faced limited options when seeking elevated assisted living experiences. Many communities prioritize scale over personalization. The Oaks is built to change that.

VP of Operations Crystal Phillips explained, “We saw a need for something different: something intimate, faith-rooted, and intentionally beautiful. Our goal was to create a place where aging doesn’t feel like decline. It feels like a new, beautiful chapter.”

With its faith-guided foundation, hospitality-driven service model, and residential design, The Oaks offers:
– Private suites
– Exceptional care with a 5 to 1 resident to caregiver ratio
– Executive Chef-prepared dining
– Curated daily life enrichment experiences
– Concierge-level support
– Holistic approach to wellness including longevity best practices
– New innovative technology woven throughout, including AI, to quickly detect resident falls and prevent future falls and injuries

The result is a luxury residence where assisted living means exceptional care, more personalization, and a true sense of belonging.

Exclusive Waitlist Now Open

Because of its limited capacity, The Oaks is now offering priority placement through its newly opened waitlist. Families may secure their place in line by submitting a deposit, ensuring early access to suite selection ahead of the April opening.

“With only 15 residences available, we anticipate demand exceeding capacity,” said Phillips. “Opening the waitlist allows families to thoughtfully plan ahead while ensuring their loved one has a home they will love.”

Applications are now being accepted for those who wish to join the waitlist and reserve placement.

Grand Opening Scheduled for April 2026

The Oaks Residence will officially open its doors in April 2026, with a grand opening celebration planned for the community and media.As Mississippi’s first boutique luxury assisted living residence, The Oaks represents a significant evolution in how senior living is experienced in the state, combining refined living with deeply personal care in a setting that feels like home.

Families interested in learning more about the waitlist or reserving placement are encouraged to contact The Oaks directly at (601) 559-3191, chad@oaksresidence.com, or visit www.oaksresidence.com.

ASAKUSA, TAITO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — This statue depicts Blue, a central character across the Jurassic World film series, at nearly 120 cm in length. The piece reflects the sculpting and production experience accumulated through previous representations of the character, realized here in a large-scale format.

Blue’s eyes are constructed with a layered structure to create depth, with attention given to pupil shape and light reflection. The surface of the body features sculpted scales and wrinkles with irregular textures. The paint application uses a combination of matte and gloss finishes to distinguish areas of dry and moist skin, while the stripe along her back is finished with controlled saturation and tonal variation based on the film’s color design.

The base is inspired by a forest environment and takes advantage of the statue’s scale for detailed expression. Rock formations and vegetation are sculpted to suggest a scene associated with Blue’s story in the film.

The Bonus Version includes a logo stand engraved with a three-toed footprint. Its design references the character’s identifying features and is included as a limited accessory.

Dr. Jennings to present “Only Then Will We Build: Forming a Real Doctrine of Creation”

PRINCETON, NJ, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Princeton Theological Seminary will host the 2026 Annie Kinkead Warfield Lectures from March 16–26, 2026, featuring Dr. Willie James Jennings, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies at Yale Divinity School.

Over the course of six lectures, Jennings will present “Only Then Will We Build: Forming a Real Doctrine of Creation,” engaging one of Christianity’s most foundational doctrines at a moment of profound global ecological, racial, and cultural reckoning.

Warfield Lecture Schedule

All lectures are open to the public. They will be held on the Princeton Seminary Campus (Theron Room, Wright Library), livestreamed on YouTube. All times are EST.

Lecture One: Assimilating Desire — Monday, March 16, 7 p.m.
Lecture Two: Contemplating Connection — Tuesday, March 17, 5 p.m.
Lecture Three: Overcoming Enclosure — Thursday, March 19, 5 p.m.
Lecture Four: Discerning Bone and Dirt — Monday, March 23, 7 p.m.
Lecture Five: Embodying Sanctuary — Tuesday, March 24, 5 p.m.
Lecture Six: Living Building — Thursday, March 26, 5 p.m.

“The Warfield Lectures represent one of Princeton Seminary’s most enduring commitments to serious theological inquiry,” said John Bowlin, Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Robert L. Stuart Professor of Philosophy and Christian Ethics at Princeton Theological Seminary. “They create space for sustained engagement with doctrines that shape the church’s life across generations. Dr. Jennings’ work on creation speaks directly to this moment, while remaining deeply rooted in the theological disciplines that have long defined this lectureship.”

Established through provisions in the will of Dr. Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851–1921), the lectureship was created to honor the memory of his wife, Annie Kinkead Warfield, and to advance rigorous engagement with central doctrines in the theological thought of the Reformed churches. Since the inaugural lectures were delivered in 1959, the series has invited leading scholars to explore the biblical basis, historical development, systematic formulation, exposition, or defense of core Christian doctrines. In the 1990s, the Warfield family agreed to expand the series to include speakers beyond confessional Reformed traditions, reflecting both the breadth of the Reformed heritage and the Seminary’s commitment to theological scholarship in service to the wider church.

A Doctrine of Creation for Our Time
Dr. Jennings’ lectures will offer a sustained theological exploration of creation, engaging questions of race theory, decolonial and environmental studies, and the theological imagination required to build communities of belonging.

Dr. Willie James Jennings is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Systematic Theology and Africana Studies at Yale Divinity School. An ordained Baptist minister and leading theologian working at the intersections of Christian thought, race theory, decolonial studies, and environmental theology, his scholarship explores how theological imagination shapes belonging and the built world.

He is the author of the forthcoming “Reframing the World: A Christian Doctrine of Creation” (Yale University Press). His landmark book “The Christian Imagination: Theology and the Origins of Race” received the 2010 American Academy of Religion Book of the Year Award and is widely regarded as one of the most significant works in theology of the past 25 years. He was also awarded the 2015 Grawemeyer Award in Religion for his groundbreaking work on race and Christianity. His book “After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging” won the 2020 Publishers Weekly Religion Book of the Year Award and the 2023 Lilly Fellows Program Book Award.

“The Warfield Lectures are not just an important event in the life of Princeton Theological Seminary. They are one of the most exciting sites of theological production writ large, featuring leading scholars as they reshape how academy and church think about commitments central to the Reformed faith and beyond,” reflected Dr. Hanna Reichel, the Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Seminary. “We are thrilled to host Dr. Willie James Jennings, whose ground-breaking work on race, imagination, and the built environment over the past decades is now culminating in a thoroughly realized doctrine of creation – challenging and inspiring alike.”

$50,000 award to be presented to historian in April

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History announced today that Richard Carwardine, author of Righteous Strife: How Warring Religious Nationalists Forged Lincoln’s Union (Knopf), will receive the 2026 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize.

Carwardine will be recognized during an award ceremony to be held in New York on April 16, 2026. The award includes a $50,000 prize and a bronze replica of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s life-sized bust Lincoln the Man.

In Righteous Strife, Carwardine reinterprets the American Civil War by examining how competing forms of religious nationalism shaped the conflict and Abraham Lincoln’s leadership.

Richard Carwardine is a Welsh historian and leading scholar of American history. Educated at the University of Oxford, he taught at the University of Sheffield before returning to Oxford as Rhodes Professor of American History and later serving as president of Corpus Christi College Oxford. This is the second time Carwardine has been awarded the Lincoln Prize; his book Lincoln won the award in 2004. He is a fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Historical Society, and in 2019 he was appointed a Companion of the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George for services to the study of American history.

“Naturally, I am thrilled by the immeasurable honor of receiving the 2026 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize,” said Carwardine. “My book has been a long time in the making and owes much to the outstanding work and generous collegiality of so many other Civil War historians. Its purpose is to show that, as president, Abraham Lincoln found himself at the heart of a struggle for national existence where faith bled into politics and politics equally bled into faith. In the ‘righteous strife’ between the Union’s antislavery and conservative religious nationalists, Lincoln became a fully engaged participant, rethinking his pre-war faith and embracing a view of God’s purposes that he so eloquently framed in his Second Inaugural Address.”

James G. Basker, president and CEO of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, said, “This brilliant book enables us to see how religion and politics combined to stir passions on both sides in the Civil War, while also shaping Lincoln’s efforts to reunite and heal the nation. It goes to the heart of the American story.”

Basker is one of five Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize board members who selected this year’s laureate. In addition to Lewis E. Lehrman, a co-founder of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and co-creator of the Gilder Lehrman Collection with the late Richard Gilder, other board members include Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History Trustees Thomas D. Lehrman, Robert H. Niehaus, and Linda Pace, and Gettysburg College Trustee Gordon Beittenmiller.

Thomas Lehrman observed, “In Righteous Strife Carwardine reveals how American religious freedom and genuine convictions of faith influenced the Civil War and Lincoln’s thought, culminating in his immortal Second Inaugural Address: ‘With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in.’ Historians and the general public alike will draw deep insights and inspiration from this remarkable work for generations to come.”

Selected from ninety nominations, Righteous Strife was one of seven finalists recommended by a jury chaired by Amy Murrell Taylor, T. Marshall Hahn Jr. Professor of History at the University of Kentucky. Jurors also included Robert K. D. Colby of the University of Mississippi and Andrew F. Lang of Mississippi State University.

In their report to the board, the jury wrote, “Tracing the competing religious impulses that infused the quest to preserve the republic, Carwardine reveals the Civil War North’s profound drive to crush the sin of slavery from threatening what many saw as God’s favored nation. . . . In scouring a staggering array of primary sources, Carwardine proves his case, showing how preserving the Union and destroying slavery became intertwined in what many believed to be the demands of divine Providence.”

The six other finalists are Douglas R. Egerton, A Man on Fire: The Worlds of Thomas Wentworth Higginson (Oxford University Press); Judith Giesberg, Last Seen: The Enduring Search by Formerly Enslaved People to Find Their Lost Families (Simon & Schuster); Robert Gudmestad, The Devil’s Own Purgatory: The United States Mississippi River Squadron in the Civil War (Louisiana State University Press); Jonathan S. Jones, Opium Slavery: Civil War Veterans and America’s First Opioid Crisis (University of North Carolina Press); Anne E. Marshall, Cassius Marcellus Clay: The Life of an Antislavery Slaveholder and the Paradox of American Reform (University of North Carolina Press); and Michael Vorenberg, Lincoln’s Peace: The Struggle to End the American Civil War (Knopf).

About the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize
The Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize is awarded annually to a work that enhances the general public’s understanding of Abraham Lincoln, the American Civil War soldier, or the American Civil War era. The $50,000 prize was established in 1990 by philanthropists Lewis E. Lehrman and the late Richard Gilder, in partnership with Gettysburg College and the late Gabor Boritt, founding director of the Civil War Institute and longtime professor at Gettysburg College.
