Christian Education

As we turn the corner into fall, take a look at our upcoming classes and join us for one or all. Dust off those Bibles, pencils, and notebooks, and consider which courses capture your interest!
Here's our catalogue:

Healing & Salvation: The Barrier-Breaking Good News of Luke

Bible graphic

Mondays at 6 pm begins September 22

All Saints’ Church Parish Hall

Led by The Rev. Celeste O. Cox, S.T.M.


This bible study explores the Gospel of Luke and the ways it informs the mission of the Church.  With attention to the Gospel program articulated in Luke 4:16-30, we will study, then reflect together, on various passages in the Gospel.  Topics may include texts to be featured on upcoming Sundays; parables unique to Luke such as The Dishonest Steward; Luke’s journey motif; and the early church’s imaginative reading of the bible known as The Senses of Scripture.  

All are welcome, no experience necessary.  

For more information contact Celeste Cox: celeste127@verizon.net 

Bible Study: Book of Genesis

Talmud scroll graphic

Tuesdays at 2 pm starting September 23

St. George's Parish Hall

Led by Mother Shelley McDade


We will dive back into the Old Testament with the start of the Abraham and Sarah family line. This Bible Study encourages an open mind to understand how God works in all our lives today and has throughout history. No previous study is needed. We gather, learn and share. Come and join our community discussion.

Most Tuesdays at 6:00 PM (Zoom)

With The Rev. Celeste Cox 


Each one-hour session includes evening devotions; 20 minutes of prayerful rest in God; then shared reflection on writings by poets, mystics or monks sent in advance.  To receive the e-vite with PDF and Zoom link, contact The Rev. Celeste Cox: celeste127@verizon.net.  


I want to cast away 

every instrument of instant answers 

to enter mystery, that place 

that lies in stillness, open to the Spirit.

--from Summer Musings by poet Sally Witt, CSJ

Circle of Conversation

Five Thursdays, October 2-30, at 2 pm 

St. George's Parish Hall

Led by Mother Judy Rhodes


Join us in a circle of conversation around Mariann Edgar Budde's incisive book, How We Learn to Be Brave. We will reflect, pray, and learn more about our capacity to be brave as people of faith, hope, and love in the name of Christ Jesus. Our time together will include plenary discussion, scripture study, prayer, personal sharing in small group, and silent reflection/journaling. It will be a contemplative experience in the company of friends as we take precious time to listen and discern the ways in which the Holy Spirit is strengthening us to be more steady, more loving, more compassionate in living daily lives in seasons that may feel deeply uncertain. How are you being called to be more courageous and more compassionate exactly in the circumstances of your life? Let us reflect on this question as individual believers and as members of the Body of Christ, the Church.

Scouting America

Help launch the Parish Scouting America Program by joining our planning group. 


Since 2010, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) has prepared America's youth for lives of impact and purpose. The Del-Mar-Va Council has determined that St. George's Chapel is the best location in Sussex County for a new Scouting America Program. 


We need five volunteers to participate in our planning group, which will become the Troop Committee for a Cub Pack. If you are interested and would like to learn more, contact Gary Colangelo garycolangelo2@comcast.net

Parish Vision Journey

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.
