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.
