Heritage Sunday at St. George’s Chapel set Nov. 23

The Episcopal Parish of All Saints’ Church and St. George’s Chapel will celebrate Heritage Sunday at 9:30 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 23, at the historic chapel at 20274 Beaver Dam Road in Harbeson, six miles south of Five Points on Route 23.

Services at St. George’s Chapel date back to 1719 at this location.

“We will be celebrating 295 years of worship, ministry and loving service,” said the Rev. Max Wolf, parish rector. “We will use our 1716 altar edition of the 1662 Church of England prayer book in the service. Many worshipers will come dressed in colonial attire, reminiscent of colonial times when the members of the congregation were primarily farmers and merchants. We always have a sense at St. George’s Chapel that we stand on the shoulders of generations who have gone before us, a continuity of that Communion of Saints.”

The service on Heritage Sunday will include music appropriate to the period; dress and wigs of the colonial times will also be in evidence as the congregation pays tribute to its long and colorful history. Pie, refreshments and colonial-era games are planned afterward at the parish hall.

All are welcome and invited to receive Holy Communion. For more information, call the parish office at 302-227-7202 or go to www.allsaintsandstgeorges.org.
