Sunday School

Regular Weekly Children’s Worship:   Sunday School will meet in-person at St. Thomas’s three or four Sundays a month, gathering at 10:15 a.m. for an opening activity and beginning the lesson/worship as the 10:30 a.m. worship service begins in the sanctuary.  Children aged 4 to grade 6 are invited to participate. Seventh graders are currently invited to participate as junior leaders but if our number of 7th graders exceeds 3, a separate plan will be implemented for them. If community health changes make it necessary, our program will be held virtually on Zoom and families will be notified of the change.  Our main framework will be a worship schedule that mimics the liturgy of the Episcopal Church: greeting and opening prayer, liturgy of the word, response in the form of art and prayer, and feast and fellowship.  This schedule may differ by age group or week depending on topics and activities.

For more info, visit Children's Ministry at our website: Children’s Ministries – St. Thomas's Episcopal Parish (stthomasnewarkde.church) or contact Belinda Young-Payne at St. Thomas’s by phone at (302) 388-4017. or via email at belmar43@aol.com.

Advent Evening Prayers- Amahl & The Night Visitors

 Marc Cheban will lead us through "Amahl and the Night Visitors": a one act opera. This sounds like a fun and fascinating evening that you won't want to miss out on. It will run about one hour.

Based on Italian folk tales of the Nativity and Epiphany, Gian Carlo Menotti’s Amahl and the Night Visitors is a retelling of the story of the Magi from the point of view of a young disabled boy named Amahl, who lives in poverty with his widowed mother near Bethlehem.

He sees a bright star in the sky one night and tells his mother to go look, but she brushes him off, buried in concern over their bleak future and lack of means with which to support themselves. That night, three kings come across their meager hut and seek shelter, for they have traveled long and far following the star of which Amahl had spoken. They bring with them treasure and gifts to give to “the Child” who has just been born and who will reign over all. Blinded by the lure of the gold and what it could do for her family. the Mother attempts to steal just a bit of the treasure, but is caught red-handed. What no one expects is a gift far greater than gold--blessed by the Child, Amahl finds himself suddenly cured of his disability. A vivid and accessible tale originally created for television, Amahl and the Night Visitors is a perfect first opera--or hundredth!  .
