Join Subdeacon Thaddeus for Adult Bible Study starting Thursday, September 28th. We will meet every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We will be studying The Gospel According to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.

These books were both written by the same man, Luke the Physician. Luke, a Gentile Christian, wrote the books for another Gentile Christian named Theophilus so that he would “know the certainty of the things you have been taught.” In the Gospel, Luke gives a carefully compiled history of our Lord Jesus Christ, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. In Acts, he continues with the history of the early Church from its humble beginnings in Jerusalem to its spread to the very heart of the empire, Rome itself.

We will study the books in order, from beginning to end, one section at a time just as they flowed from Luke's pen. As we read, we will pause frequently to reflect on the meaning of what we are reading and what implications it has for our lives. This is where we will have an opportunity to share our knowledge, experiences, and insight with each other. We will also consider the commentaries of the Church Fathers. This way of working together makes each meeting fairly self-contained, so if you need to miss a few meetings, you can easily rejoin the group later.

Everyone should bring a Bible to class. The Orthodox Study Bible is highly recommended, but not necessary.

The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”

St. Michael's is part of the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania, which is presided over by The Most Reverend Mark (Maymon), Archbishop of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania. Our mission is bringing the joy of Christ's resurrection to those who have never heard the Good News, and to strengthen and encourage the faithful who reside within Wilmington and the local area.

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
