The Meat Feast of St Larry

Meat Feast of St. Larry
St. Lawrence is the patron saint of cooks and comedians. When the Roman Emperor Valerian order Lawrence to turn over all of the church's treasure, he showed up at the courthouse with all the poor the church was caring for. This joke got him roasted alive. But he wasn't finished, quipping "Turn me over, I'm well done on this side!" while being martyred. To honor St. Larry and live as Christians ourselves, on August 7th we are going to host a service project (a free back-to-school clothing swap), barbecue (smoked meat by Jacob Terry and Scott Gentry), and a creative modern retelling of the Lawrence story.

Serving the City

Savannah is a historic city. But one of the things that sets Savannah apart from other historic cities in the South is the way in which our community is blessed by the presence of artists, creatives, SCAD students and other cultural innovators. The interaction between our historic and creative communities has helped to build a city that is more than the sum of its parts.

One of the cornerstone cultural events in the Savannah Calendar is the Savannah Music Festival. For 31 years, the Festival has brought acts from across the musical spectrum to our city. Like so much else in the era of pandemic, however, the Festival faces an uncertain future. That’s where you come in.

Christ the King-Savannah is going to serve our community by volunteering to make phone calls for the Savannah Music Festival to people whose tickets were cancelled this year. The hope is that we can inspire enough people to donate their ticket money so that artists can be paid and the Festival can financially survive this difficult year. We hope we can find 20 people to serve our community in a safe way by making an hours worth of phone calls. What a great chance to heed the command of Jeremiah 29:7: “Seek the peace of the city your are in, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”

If you would like to volunteer: put your name and email address below. We only have until Wednesday to fill out our roster, so sign up quickly!
