The first time I ever saw a Big Green Egg (which is the brand name of a kamado-style ceramic charcoal barbecue cooker) was at a cookout at a friend’s house. I remember it because it didn’t look like any grill/smoker I had ever seen before. I also remember it because it felt as if my friend was bound and determined to make sure several of his guests went out Monday morning and bought a Big Green Egg. He was clearly an evangelist for the product.
We all know the experience. There are particular products, experi-ences and life choices that people seem to have an unwavering and
evangelistic devotion to. Big Green Egg, Apple computers, Peloton Exercise bikes, Yoga, and gluten-free diets are all among the list of things and choices that I have heard people speak about enthusiastically to their friends.
I have certainly been among those who have spoken fervently about some experience or product that probably isn’t quite as important as I have made it out to be in my evangelis-tic salesmanship.
What if you knew of an opportunity that could help someone feel love, find purpose, make friends and discover the secret to eternal life? Would you share the “Good News”?
Interestingly, each of us already knows of something that offers all of these things. Ad-mittedly, it doesn’t grill steaks, make you more fit, or help you organize your pictures, but what it does is so much more important.
The answer, of course, is church. In church we hear about God’s love for us. We discover who we are, why we are here and how God wants us to live. In addition to these things, we are reminded that God has offered us, through Jesus, the promise of life eternal.
So why are we so eager to talk about our grill, and so unwilling to share with someone an invitation to come be part of something that is truly wonderful and life changing?
We don’t have to make people feel guilty. We don’t have to push if they already have a church. All we have to do is ask people if they have a church, and invite them if they don’t. Evangelism is really simple. It is important. And universally it is always wonderful to be on the receiving end of an invitation.

Wednesday Bible Study begins September 1211 a.m. | Parkins Room
We will delve into the largest book in the Old Testament - Isaiah. See and hear the word of God through the faithful witness of this prophet as he reveals what God would say to us with reverence and compassion. All are welcome.
Bert Compton, Fontaine Draper, David Gillon, Jackie Lawrence, Martha Lokey, John Stewart, Marilyn Williams and John Zintak were commissioned as Community of Hope (COH) Lay Caregivers last month. St. Luke’s became a Community of Hope Center in January. COH is a lay pastoral care ministry of the Episcopal Church designed to “help create and sustain Christian communities of volunteer lay pastoral caregivers united in prayer; shaped by Benedictine spirituality; and equipped for and serving in pastoral care ministries.” These eight parishioners are now assisting clergy with hospital and pastoral visits to parishioners experiencing transition, grief and loss. Please welcome them to this new ministry!
Monitoring twelve pre-kindergarten students eating lunch is exactly as chaotic as it sounds. I’m sure we all remember the hustle and bustle of the lunchroom, and the only difference with the Ansley School’s cafeteria versus a regular school cafeteria is the quality of food; ours goes above and beyond the call of a school lunch. Road-shows Catering (by way of Lenny) not only agreed to provide our students with a daily hot lunch but has accepted the challenge and exceeded all expectations. Our students have the opportunity to try foods like chicken stir fry, fish sticks and “breakfast for lunch” while also having the lunch room sta-ples of grilled cheese, chicken tenders and hamburger sliders (though, even these old classics are far above the quality I remember from my days at school). No meal at the school is complete without a serving of fruit and veggies. Our pre-kindergarteners are adven-turous eaters, trying everything before even asking what it is. And on the off-chance they discover something that they don’t like (a rarity, I promise), Lenny makes the adjustment with a smile and more suggestions for food and things the kids might like. The kids know “Mr. Lenny” works hard to make their lunches and are quick to thank him whenever they see him.
UPDATE:
Manuel’s Meet UpThursday, September 20 at 6 p.m.If you’re between the ages of 21-38, join us for community and a guided discussion at Manuel’s Tavern in Poncey-High-lands. This a great opportunity for newcomers as well as long-time members to meet fellow young adults.

On a sunny Saturday morning in April a group of pa-rishioners gathered to plant beans, tomatoes, okra, eggplant, onions, and cucumbers in the Mustard Seed Garden, a parish outreach ministry. Maybe you saw the garden the next day – the rich black earth,
the tiny seedlings – still damp from the overnight rain.
Like magic, over the next few weeks the seedlings grew. We were blessed with many sunny days that often detoured into afternoon showers. Soon the tomato plants were poking out of their wire cages, and cucumbers reached biblical proportions! For weeks on end we harvested a bumper crop of beans. In Clyde’s capable hands, this bounty was magically transformed into delicious lunches, providing nourishment for dozens of Crossroads clients every weekday. Clyde, who can be seen harvesting early in the morning, tells us this has been the best year ever for the garden.
Now, as the summer growing season winds down, we will soon harvest what’s left and plant cooler weather crops. We invite everyone to help harvest and plant at our next Dig Day on Sat-urday, September 22, from 9 - 11 am. Many hands make light work! No expertise needed (but gardening gloves and a hat are recommended).
And there’s more! Even if you have never volunteered in the garden, you are invited to join us for our Harvest Festival on September 22, beginning at 6 p.m. This family-friendly celebration of the season’s bounty is always a special evening featuring barbecue and an array of homemade sides, plus our signature stewed apples and vanilla ice cream for dessert. If skies are clear we’ll be outside near the garden, and we’ll feast by candlelight at dusk as the almost-full moon rises above the city. Truly magical!
Celebrating the Mustard Seed GardenSaturday, September 22
If you like to dig in the dirt, join us at 9 a.m. on Sept. 22 as we as we harvest the remainder of the summer produce, pre-pare the beds, and plant cool weather crops. No experience needed, but you’ll want to bring gardening gloves, hat, and sunscreen. We’ll provide coffee and water as well as gardening tools.
Parish Retreat Speaker and Workshop Leader at Kanuga: Sybil MacBeth
St. Luke’s is very excited to welcome Sybil MacBeth as our Parish Retreat speaker and workshop leader at the retreat November 16-18. An instructor, dancer and Episcopal author of the best-selling, Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God, she leads workshops across the US on how to meditate, pray and read with coloring and doodling. In addition, she has developed several practices that helps others find spiritual connection and healing by slowing down the mind and body to hear God’s voice and call. This year’s theme, Art and Soul: Spiritual Healing through the Arts, is tailor-made for Ms. MacBeth. Her effective use of lectio divina, interactive art play and music and dance promise to wow thesenses and stir the soul!
