For the month of November we will continue our custom of keeping a constant vigil in the All Souls Side Chapel at All Saints' (using a battery operated vigil light for safety). All are welcome to remember their beloved ones who have gone on to their eternal rest by writing their names on slip of paper and putting them in the basket.

If you can't get here to All Saints' feel free to email Jon Rania to put your loved ones' names in the basket. jonrania@allsaintsandstgeorges.org 

Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon them. May their souls, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

If you’re looking for a way to connect and serve, there are many roles where you can make a difference! You could be an Acolyte, assist with the Altar Guild, help share Communion as a Lay Eucharistic Minister, read scripture as a Lector, sing in the Choir, welcome guests as an Usher, or bring joy to others by hosting Breakfast or Coffee Hour.

Every role is an opportunity to share your gifts and become part of a welcoming community. We warmly invite you to volunteer and serve alongside us, sharing in the joy of creating a welcoming worship experience for all. You can find more informaton about these roles on our Worship Ministries page. 

For more information or to volunteer, please call the Parish Office: 302-227-7202.

Collecting NEW clothing for school-aged children

The mission fo Clothing Our Kids is to impove the lives of at-risk Head Start through High School students by providing them with new school clothing. Not having essential clothing has a direct negative impact on children's self-esteem, attendance, and ability to learn, and can lead to bullying. COK's goal is to assist these youngsters with an equal start in their education and to help them become successful students.  

New clothing donations can be dropped off in the designated boxes in either parish hall. 

Responding to our neighbors' urgent needs for non-perishable foods. At the same time that food insecurity is increasing, donations to the Food Bank are decreasing. We are collaborating with the Metropolitan Community Church of Rehoboth to address critical needs. Please be generous, if you can, in adding a few items to your grocery cart for our neighbors. 

Drop donations in the Food Basket at the back of church or bring them to the Church Office through October.

Here are items being requested: peanut butter, jelly, pancake mix, pasta sauce, canned meats, rice, sugar and flour in small plastic bags, mayonnaise, ketchup, cooking oils and sprays, chicken noodle soup

Announcing an exciting new venture for our Thrift Outreach Ministries:

With the commitment of our past and current vestries, parishioners, thrift staff and volunteers, and most assuredly our customers, we have purchased a new retail location of great potential to be opened mid-year 2026. The new property, made up of three separate buildings located at 26804 Lewes-Georgetown Hwy, Harbeson, DE, will be transformed from its current custom furniture sales business into a newly envisioned Parish Thrift Shop ministry for years to come. Parish Thrift Harbeson will join our Parish Thrift Midway location as our two anchor stores. The current property in Rehoboth will be closing sometime on 2026 as the current owner repurposes the land for a planned housing community. 

The Vestry has initiated a vision journey to look ahead 5 to 10 years to imagine parish life from its current state of growth. This year-long project will build from the recently completed 5-year plan which laid the needed infrastrucure for vibrant lay ministires and parish life. 

The following parishioners from every corner of our current ministries have been asked to represent and guide us: Mark Barbone, Daria DiSabatino, Helen Hoart, Rutland Paal, Lisa Scholl, and Barbara Villwock along with Maurice Seaton, a Faith Facilitator with Core Capital Campaigns. 

The parish will be called upon to offer insights and feedback along the way. Please keep our visioning team and this project in prayer that we may enter the conversation with love and grace.
