Olly, Meatball & Father Max
It is a gift to God and to
our community that for gener-
ations our parish family has
borne witness to God’s love
and mercy. We are finishing
our 125th anniversary of All
Saints’ Church and we are a
year away from the 300th
anniversary (tercentenary) of
St. George’s Chapel. Below is
the text of my sermon written
in old style English for Herit-
age Sunday. The Bible text
referenced are 1 Thessalonians
5:1-11 & Matthew 25:14-30.
+ From our Epistle today:
“But ye, brethren…are all
children of the light, and the
children of the day. Therefore
let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be so-
ber…for God hath not appoint-
ed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
Our Collect this blustery
morn sayeth we shall
“inwardly digest” Holy Scrip-
tures, but dare’st thou bite
into these parables taught by
Jesus? So often a meal of
these teachings will bring our
souls, if not our bellies, great
discomfort. And at first glance,
today’s Gospel about the tal-
ents be no exception. In the
ancient world, a “talent” was
indeed a large sum, equivalent to a thousand pounds sterling
in our currency. Each servant
was given according to his
several ability, yet upon return
the Lord judged harshly the
fearful servant who deliveredst
the one talent he had digged
in the earth and hid. Is it not
unsettling to inwardly digest a
teaching that appeareth to
embrace the injustice of usu-
ry that “the rich getteth richer
and the poor getteth poorer”?
It giveth me heartburn.
But these parables
preached by Jesus remindeth
us to be awake, to be sober
and watchful, for we know not
when the Master shall return.
Our Lord delivers unto each
of us talents according to our
several ability, and expecteth
us not to be slothful or fear-
ful, but rather to produce the
fruits of God’s Kingdom until
the Lord cometh again. And
St. Paul remindeth us in to-
day’s Epistle that the fate of
us believers is not for ye to
be cast into the outer dark-
ness where there will be
weeping and gnashing of
teeth. God has not appointed
us to wrath, but to obtain sal-
vation by our Lord Jesus
Christ. We do not grieve as
the unbelievers grieve, for
our faith teacheth us that
whether we are awake in life
or asleep in death we liveth
together with Christ. My dear-
est Mother sent by parcel a
book of poetry by priest and
poet John Donne. In it I dis-
covereth these lines “Death
be not proud.” Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou
art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but
thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee
much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go, Rest of their bones, and soul's
delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well And better than thy stroke;
why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
So comfort yourselves
together, edify and encour-
age each other. Ye, are all
the children of the light.
Your fate is not the sleep of
death but to wake eternally.
And hear thy Lord say unto
ye, “Well done thou good
and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joy of thy
Lord.”
The peace and joy of Christ,
Father Max Wolf

Spiritual Reflections by Mother Eunice
It seems a bit hackneyed to talk about stopping to smell the roses, seeing the forest beyond the trees, making
every effort to remember the true reason(s) of the upcoming holiday season, and a score of other seemingly
tired expressions. Such "greeting card" sentiments have become yet another part of the holiday season. So
often I, and I am quite sure my colleagues, have hunkered down and prayed for the day after Thanksgiving,
and December 26th, to arrive with lightning speed. In truth, and at this writing, my head is STILL spinning
after a jam packed October, and with every event/rehearsal/recital/ that creeps up like a thief in the night, the
temptation to "phone it in" becomes greater. The above mentioned "syndrome" is very easily contagious, and
very readily apparent and rampant everywhere, in everyone. It is in these times, for me, that blessed quiet-
ness is necessary, a mind clearing disconnect from the trappings of daily life, what I have come to refer to as
my "cabin in the woods." The truth is that our lives and the world around us constantly assault us these
days. Even those viewpoints and affiliations, those intelligent conversations and thoughtful discourses are
draining us, whether consciously or unconsciously. While being informed is of paramount importance, and
having well informed, well thought out opinions and beliefs is key to remaining active, the restorative nature
of "the cabin in the woods" becomes just as, if not more, important. Who, what, and/or where is your own,
personal, solitary "cabin in the woods"? We all need one! In Holy Love,
Jackson Borges
John Lennon once said “Life is what happens when you’re busy making
other plans.” And similarly, there is an old Yiddish saying “Man plans, God
laughs.” I have recently returned from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
While there, about five of us who are ordained met over lunch to divide up
who would lead over various services while in Israel. The priest who led
our group wanted to make sure that all of us ordained folk would have the
opportunity to practice our vocation in the Holy Land. Strange though it
may sound, I announced that I didn’t want to lead any services because I
was on pilgrimage and I didn’t want to needlessly worry about preparing
for anything. Most of you know I have a tendency to obsess over my ser-
mon preparation. So we all agreed and went on with our lunch and our
day.
A few days later we found ourselves a few miles away from Capernaum
on the Mount of Beatitudes. This is the area where Jesus preached his Ser-
mon on the Mount as found in Matthew’s Gospel chapter 5. It’s a lovely
place with lush gardens and a chapel designed by Antonio Barluzzi. Based on writings by a pilgrim named Ege-
ria in the 3rd century, the exact spot is most likely down the hill from the chapel where there is a small cave
overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Our tour guide announced that we would be walking down the hill towards that
cave. Incidentally, we averaged about 5 miles of walking every day. In our group we had about 5 people who
had trouble walking so our guide announced that anyone having trouble walking might want to remain on the
bus because the path downhill was going to be a bit steep. So off we went down the hill in silence praying.
That alone was an amazing experience.
When we came to a small plateau just over and behind the cave our tour guide began to set up for Com-
munion. It was then that we realized the priest who was going to celebrate decided to stay on the bus be-
cause of her trouble walking! So I suddenly found myself wearing a stole and leading and preaching over Holy
Eucharist on the Mount of Beatitudes overlooking the Sea of Galilee! My careful planning of not wanting to
“work” on my pilgrimage was suddenly replaced with what easily became one of the most moving experiences
of my life.
We are now in the season of Advent where we are symbolically approaching the unexpected arrival of the
Messiah. Everyone at the time of the Messiah’s birth had their own ideas of what would happen. Most were
completely wrong. Humanity plans and God laughs. However, God’s plans are so beautiful that we find our-
selves surprised with joy and hope. And that is the theme of this holy season. Waiting, wonder and joy.
God Bless, Mother Eunice +

Thrift Shop News Lynn Brittingham
As the end of 2017 approaches, we look back and remember the many things for which we are thankful. First we
are thankful for the Love of God, and the many expressions of that love we see everywhere we turn. We are blessed
with many gifts, and so very fortunate. We must not take it for granted, and we must share that love with others.
We are thankful for family, friends, community, church, jobs, homes, food, clothing, volunteers, great teamwork, and
a strong loving thrift shop family. We are also thankful for the presence we have in the communities that we serve.
Recently, we were a part of the celebration of The Rehoboth Beach Sea Witch Festival. And we are also a part of
the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade. We continue with our email connections, and we have also started with Face-
book. But our best connections and references come through word of mouth. We only look back on 2017 in order to
inform our future, so we think about what good we have done. More importantly, we think what can we do next year
and do even better.
One thing we hope to do even better is continue to build our already strong team. Because we depend so much
on volunteers, teamwork is the answer for us at the thrift stores. Most everyone remembers sometime in their life
being a part of a strong team. Think back for a minute…what was the team you were on? Was it a family team cook-
ing a holiday meal? Was it a work team? Maybe it was a sports team. It could have been a study or academic team.
Was it a small or large team? It could have been a team committed to making a positive difference in the lives of
others. It could have been a team building a product. Remember how it felt to be a part of a great team?
What are the words and actions that characterize a strong team? As you know, rarely does a single person have
all of the knowledge. So major improvements and productivity comes from teams – a group of people pooling their
skills, talents, and knowledge to tackle problems and come up with solutions. We see this over and over again at the
thrift shops, and we are trying to strengthen that effort. Words like family, concern, commitment, caring, compas-
sion, unselfishness, fun, laughter, confidence, enjoyment, accomplishment, all describe what we are working toward.
Imagine the power of working together – “all one team” moving toward the same service goals. It is amazing to watch and very rewarding.
So these are some of the thoughts of losing 2017 and the promise of 2018. If 2017 was a great year, 2018 prom-
ises to be even better. But we cannot do it without your help and support, so join us even if you only have one hour
per month. Being a part of our team can be exhilarating. A favorite teamwork quote of mine sums it all up for me
when the coach Vince Lombardi said: “Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of
strength to be derived by unity.”
Happy Shopping! Lynn Brittingham, Manager
Susan’s Short Sharings by Deacon Susan Phillips
Peace Through Prayer from Henri J. M. Nouwen's Peaceworks
Prayer means entering into communion with the One who loved us before we could love. It is this "first love"
(1 John 4:19) that is revealed to us in prayer. The deeper we enter into the House of God, the house whose
language is prayer, the less dependent we are on the blame or praise of those who surround us, and the freer
we are to let our whole being be filled with that first love.
Lord of Peace, fill us with your peace not only during this busy, hurried season, but also throughout
the year. Amen.
Mental Health Ministry - Our next dinner for people from three staffed, local mental health group homes will
be on Wednesday, December 6th at 5:30 pm - St. George's Parish Hall. Our Christmas Dinner with colors of red
and green will include baked chicken (supplied) but we request festive sides of vegetables and salads, cranber-
ries of some sort, and desserts. Please join us for an evening of food, fun, and fellowship.
Our Christmas Collection will be for adult coloring books, colored pencils, crayons, $10. Walmart gift cards,
men and women's socks and hoodies with zippers, travel tooth brush/paste sets, small flashlights/ batteries,
and knitted hats and gloves. Please leave in the gray bin at All Saints' Parish Hall or on the table with the
brochures at St. George's Parish Hall marked with my name. Thank you for your generous, continuing support
through the years. By serving those who are stigmatized and ignored in our society, we are serving Christ him-
self. Love in hope and peace, Deacon Susan
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Do you have a neighbor or know of someone in a healthcare facility or in the community who needs encourage-
ment? Please consider taking a prayer shawl to them. So often I hear wonderful stories of how the prayer
shawls touch the hearts of people in a special way. Recently, a prayer shawl was delivered to an older woman
in Florida who had suffered through the difficulties of a hurricane. When she later received the prayer shawl
from her son, she told him of her prayers to God for her safety through the storm. The gift of the shawl re-
minded her of God's loving presence and protection. We are blessed to have an abundance of prayer shawls.
Please call Aprile at the parish office, (302)227-7202, or see Lois Johnson or Deacon Susan for a prayer shawl.
LIVING A LIFE THAT LASTS
Meditations John Birdsell
Revelation is the last book of the Bible but is timely for us now. It is given us by Christ and brings us the hope that we long for. In the following verse of Revelation, Jesus affirms His coming again and John gives a reply that we all should embrace.
Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. NIV
Here we are at the church’s busiest time with rapid changes of season. With all the hustle and bustle of life for us at this time of year we can take some time to put our feet up, sit back and reflect on all that is happening. There is certainly a lot going on in the world around us and we live in anxious times, and if we listen to the news we seem to be on the edge of disaster. If we read the Revelation of Christ as given to the angels, and passed on to John to give to us, we see there are worse times yet to come. The good news is that the believers will be spared when calamity strikes. In truth no one knows when all of this will take place. Some believe that these things have happened in our past with the fall of the Roman Empire after the Temple was destroyed. Others believe some of these things are yet to come.
It is our hope and prayer that Christ will come again and soon. In the Song of Solomon we read that the groom, Christ our Lord, leaves the bride to be “the Church” for a period before the marriage. I can’t and will not say for certain that this is the only interpretation of events. If all that I have read in the Bible tells me anything I believe that it has not finished yet. Revelation tells us that Christ will come on a cloud and every eye will see him. When that time comes things will happen to those who are not in His camp and we should already be prepared.
We celebrate His birth, the first coming of God manifest in hu-man form. It must have been something special indeed for those who recognized Him at first sight. The early disciples were quick to do so and the Jews had been waiting for more than 400 years without a sign or a prophet to let them know. When He comes again I am certain that Christians will recog-nize Him and yet some of the non-believers will continue to de-ny and reject Him. When He does come the groom will then take His bride and the marriage will take place. At least this is my opinion.
This is the perfect time of year. The old life passes away as winter arrives and life around us changes with the cold. Then we have the birth and new life abounds as we see the end of winter in sight and look forward to spring and new life in many forms begins to appear around us. It is a good time for us to reflect upon ourselves. Maybe we should let some of the things we hold onto too long die. We should grasp something new to restore our souls and find a peace and joy. We should give thanks and praise to God our Father for all the blessings He showers on us.
Pray: Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Glory and Praise to you for the seasons and examples you give us. We give thanks to You for your love and your Son, Jesus our Savior. As we go through the stress and turmoil of life on this earth we find peace that only You can give. We feel Your love and know that in Christ we have our hope. For all that was, all that is, and all that is yet to come we say as John, Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
Your brother-in-Christ, John Birdsell
Ask how you can make a gift to the church that will leave a legacy for future generations.
Treasurer’s Notes Joseph Cascio
The Legacy Guild was established as a reminder to consider leaving a final (tax free) gift from your estate to All Saints’ Church or St.
George’s Chapel. All of us in the Parish have inherited from previous generations a magnificent history and fine buildings. It is our Legacy
to leave this Parish to future generations, strong and secure. It is important to know a Legacy donation is for everyone. Whether small
or large, please consider the Legacy Guild.
Legacy Guild
The All Saints' Capital Expense Fund was established in 2017 due to a generous bequeath by the late Ron Redd and Maxwell. The Vestry initiated this fund to support larger than normal mainte-nance projects for the All Saints' campus. This will assist us to maintain our buildings and grounds.
Recently, we have had several projects ongoing, new carpeting and flooring throughout the parish office and hall, new entrance doors, new HVAC duct work and a new Rectory garage roof.
We will need to support this fund to keep it existing. Please feel free to contribute to The All Saints' Capital Expense Fund.
Income and Expenses remain steady but flat at both All Saints Church’ and St. George’s Chapel. The first nine months of 2017, Pledge and Plate Income at All Saints’ was $217,233 (-17,323 vs. last year) and Other Income of $158,223, Income totaled $415,967. (-55,029 vs., last year) Expenses totaled $449,500. (-$33,533). Thrift Shop income and Legacy donations are important sources of other income.
Through the first nine months of 2017, Pledge and Plate Income at St. George’s, Pledge and was $98,376 (-2,440 vs. last year) and Other Income of $42,676,(-1,571 vs. last year) totaled $143,542. Expenses totaled $142,799. (- $2,880 vs. last year). St. George’s Thrift Shop income as a percent of the total income is 19%.
For 2017, We were able to raise $19,427 towards Camp Arrow-head Scholarships. This is a remarkable total and supporting our area youth is one of our commitments. We also raised $5620 for Episcopal Relief & Development’s Hurricane Disaster Relief Fund to support victims in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico.
We are currently collecting Stewardship Pledge Commitment Cards for 2018. Thank you to those who have submitted your Pledge Cards. For those who haven’t, please send in your pledg-es as soon as possible, since we are preparing the Budget for 2018 at this time. We continue to struggle with flat pledging or no pledging while our expenses continue to rise. Our goal is to have income exceed expenses without relying on investment income.
Please send in your pledge commitment cards as soon as possi-ble. If you are pledging the same amount as in 2017, continue to send in a card.
Wishing you a Joyous Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year! Faithfully, Joseph Cascio, Parish Treasurer
We don’t want to miss your birthday, so if
your name is not on the list or incorrect,
please contact the parish office!

Stewardship
Our Annual Appeal mailing occurred in November with
Stewardship Sunday commencing on November 12 at both
churches. As always, we have significant goals to achieve
and we thank God for the continued generosity of our
parish family members and benefactors in supporting our
essential ministries and loving community presence.
Including in the mailing was information about the 2018
budgets for each church, with charts showing income and
expenses and a pledge card with return envelopes.
At this time we would like to encourage everyone to make
a financial commitment to the parish and pledge. Pledging
amounts have been stable but flat for the past years.
We hope to glean pledges toward the operating budget for
the coming year so we can know whether or not we can
commit to salaries, buildings and programs. Above that,
we hope to encourage one another to remember the abun-
dance with which we have been blessed by God, and to
give freely from that abundance.
If you have any questions concerning Stewardship or a
Pledge commitment, please contact Joseph Cascio, Parish
Treasurer or Father Max, Rector.
Altar Flowers
If you would like to sponsor Altar Flowers for 2018, please
call the parish office for All Saints’ Church flowers and for
St. George’s Chapel flowers,
see Melissa Richardson.
The Boardwalk Boys
The men and guests had a wonderful celebration at Beth-
any Blues where we had great service and food in the pri-
vate dining room. We received a report from Terri Valente
on the summer at Camp Arrowhead along with comments
about plans as they move into the future of offering Christ
to the children and youth of Delmarva.
This year has been a good one for our efforts to keep
improving the camp Infirmary and as we look to the fu-
ture. The men will be getting the treatment/exam table
recovered and a second laptop for the Infirmary staff. The
big effort in 2018 is to raise additional funds for the reno-
vation of the patient bathroom to update that space.
We will not meet again until March, 2018 when we will
begin to plan for our annual lasagna dinner in May before
the meters come back on.
Yours in Christ,
Steve Palmer
The Dragons
As we approach the end of the year and looking back, the
Dragons have had a good year. They had a successful Ger-
man Dinner in October, great Mother's Day coffee hour in
May, and have been the drivers of the Little Dragon golf cart
providing a shuttle service from the parish hall to the chapel
on Sundays.
Presently, the Dragons are in the process of organizing a
CPR course for interested members of both churches.
Merry Christmas, Dan Reed
