The school year has started with all the normal angst. My kids, like many other kids I know, were worried about whether their friends were going to be in their class. It’s a new year, new teachers and so all the normal anxiety around change, around whether or not they would settle in and find their place in the new class setting, whether or not they would even know anyone in the class – all those anxieties kicked into high gear.
This led me to think about what it is like to walk through the doors of St. Luke’s for the first time. While we adults are probably much better
at masking it, much of the same anxieties come up. You have to figure out where to sit are you a front of the church or back of the church type person (or desire to be part of the holy chaos that is the balcony)? And when you do sit down, there is that moment of worry- am I taking someone else’s seat? Is this where the parish matriarch has sat for the past 70 years and I just took her spot? And just for the moment let’s set aside trying to follow the Episcopal liturgy and find the correct hymnal. There is that moment at the peace, when you look around and other people are hugging one another, shaking hands and talking as if they are one big family. Do you reach out your hand? Do you smile awkwardly at the neighbor in the pew beside you or just look down with your eyes and avoid eye contact. And at the announcements – there is talk of Loaves and Fishes, there is talk of EYC, and Faith and Film. It all sounds like another language. How do you even begin to find out where you might try to enter in and meet people, find your community.
Of the parishes that I have been a part of, St. Luke’s excels at welcoming people. We are good at identifying people and introducing ourselves. And at the same time, there are a lot of ways that we remain insular as a community, unintentionally. We have a common language that we use – names for different groups – that to ears that are just walking in the door sounds like a foreign dialect is being spoken here. And the message that sends is one of isolation rather than inclusion. Unlike the rhythm of the school year, there is not a natu-ral time where newcomers enter into our community all at once. Our common life together has a much more fluid rhythm where people come seeking God and community, and people go either because they did not find what they sought or because of life’s various pulls.
For those of us who are here and have been here for a while, there is a genuine desire to welcome newcomers among us, but also perhaps a distance from understanding what it is like to enter into and become connected to our community of faith. There is work for us to do to prepare for others to enter in and become connected. I am so excited for the work that we will be engaging in this fall of Invite, Welcome, Connect. This work will challenge all of us to see our community in a new and exciting way and work together to share with one another and with those who are yet to come the love we share in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Attention college freshmen and/or parents: The St. Luke’s College Ministry wants to make sure we can stay in touch with you throughout the year and send you goodies. We need to have a college address as well as current e-mail address or phone numbers for texting so we can send care packages and inform you they are coming. Please send your information to [email protected]. Thank you and congratulations to all in this new adventure. We will miss you.
.....And we are OPEN! The Boyce L. Ansley School, serving children experiencing homelessness, officially opened its doors on August 1, and what an incredible journey it has
been. We now have 13 children enrolled (seven girls and six boys). They are all so amazing, and we are really becom-ing a family. Watching the progress these little ones have made has been all the validation we ever needed for why this school is so important. Many of the children came to us having never been asked to sit still for any length of time or listen to a story from start to finish or follow directions. Their parents are smart and caring and want nothing but the best for their children, but the moment-by-moment, crisis-by-crisis struggles of daily life has left their children in a vulnerable place. To see the children, just a few weeks later, smiling as they come in each day, walking in a line, listening to a story and making friends with one another is a great thing!
We are beginning to bring in our community partners for counseling and screenings so we can be certain we are serving the whole child. Additionally, Crystal Crawford, our family liaison and social worker, has been working diligent-ly with our parents to connect them with resources, such as the many services offered at Crossroads, to help them. Crystal also hosted the first Parent Academy workshop to help parents understand how to best support their chil-
dren’s educational pursuits. Seventy percent of our parents attended the first workshop. We are looking forward to the next one. There is also some interesting trivia: two of our parents attended The St. Luke’s Street Academy, an alterna-tive school held on our campus in the 1990s.
We are beginning to find places where volunteer help is needed and have been working to create a schedule with the teachers. If you are already on our volunteer list, you will be hearing from us soon. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up on the “Get Invloved” page of our website to begin receiving volunteer updates and requests. You will fall in love with our kids, just as we have. The trau-ma they have suffered is real and at times evident, but their spirits are strong, and they are ready to take on the world!
A Note about visitors: We love to share our school with everyone, but for the safety of the students, we ask that you make arrangements with us before visiting. And we know our kids are adorable, but many cannot be photographed for safety reasons, so we ask that you not take any photographs of the children. THANK YOU!
Saturday, September 22DIG DAY in the Garden. Come help from 9-11 a.m. as we harvest the remainder of the summer produce, prepare 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 wa-ter as well as gardening tools.
Join us at 5 p.m. for THE HARVEST FESTIVAL, a family-friendly event featuring barbecue and an array of delicious sides (plenty of vegetarian options) to celebrate another successful year for the Garden. You do not need to be a garden volunteer to attend! Cost: $5 per person, at the door. Please help us plan by signing up at the reception desk, via the reservation line (404-873-7777) or on-line by Monday, September 17.

As summer ends and St. Luke’s prepares for Rally Day and the start of a new program year, we are already thinking ahead to next summer.Summertime presents opportunities as well as challenges for all churches. People want to rest from “life” and Sunday morn-ings can seem like an especially good time to do that. People travel more in summer than during the other months of the year – the “program year” as churches often call it. Some of those travelers will visit churches – and St. Luke’s gets its fair share of visitors each year.
For those of us who think of our worshiping community as a “church family,” Sunday morning is an important time regardless of the season of the year. We want to stay connected and engaged with the church and the church’s work, which does not take a vacation.
Some churches go to a “summer schedule,” offering fewer worship services and programs; while others stick with the same sched-ule all year long. We want to get your thoughts about the best way that we can bring the St. Luke’s church family together for worship each Sunday during the summer.
Let us know your preferences for Sunday worship during summer at St. Luke’s by filling out this brief, anonymous survey. If possible, please complete the survey online: StLukesAtlanta.org. If you prefer to fill out this page, please drop it in the plate on Sunday morn-ings or mail it to the church to the attention of: Survey. The survey will be available online throughout September. Thank you!

Expanding Community A recurring feature to introduce new members.
KATIE AILEYKatie felt the hand of God leading her to join St. Luke’s: when her fiancé Evan McConnell was visiting churches on the couple’s behalf (Katie lives in Johnson City, Tennessee), he felt drawn to the liveliness of St. Luke’s and our active young adult ministry. Then when Katie visited St. Luke’s and met Horace Griffin, they connected over their common ties to Johnson City (Horace served as a chaplain there prior to his call to St. Luke’s). And then Katie learned that Dan Matthews had served as rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Kingsport, were she currently worships. A God thing to be sure, Katie remarks! Katie is a cradle Episcopalian and was very active with her childhood church in Knoxville. She and Evan met in college at Clemson, and they look forward to consolidating households following their December wedding and Katie’s finding a new chemical engineering job here in Atlan-
ta. The couple dotes on their chocolate labrador retriever and looks forward to serving with Crossroads.
ROD GANSKERod came to St. Luke’s and the Episcopal church courtesy of marriage. His wife, Katie Hollingsworth Ganske, grew up in our congregation. In fact, they just celebrated their 18th anniversary by helping manage the recent Sandwich Build in the same Parish Hall where they held their wedding reception all those many years ago. Rod was raised in the Disciples of Christ church in Waco, Texas. Here in At-lanta, at the suggestion of former parishioner Jud Graves, he served on the TACC (St. Luke’s Training and Counseling Center) board of directors from 2008 to 2013 and then was succeeded by Katie, who is a psychologist, upon his departure. Rod also participated in the 2018 Leadership St. Luke’s pro-gram. Daughter Lela (6th grade) played the role of Mary in last year’s Christmas Pageant and enjoys her involvement with the youth group, while Ruthie (2nd grade) loves everything related to the church service. Rod is an avid Atlanta Braves fan and season ticketholder, works as an attorney, and lives with his family in Underwood Hills.
KRISTINA MORMINOKristina (pictured here with her mother Yvonne Watkins on the left, son James, and sister Kortney Watkins on the right) grew up attending the Unity Center of Memphis. She and her husband moved to Atlanta in 1997, and Kristina began attending Church of the Epiphany in Decatur soon after. When she and James (now in the 4th grade) started church shopping a few years ago, James’ evaluation was that St. Luke’s “feels more familiar,” so they began attending then. Kristina’s mother and sister soon followed, so now it’s a family affair. Kristina participates in the summer choir, and both she and James participate in Vacation Bible School and the Christmas pageant. The family lives in East Point
where Kristina supports her husband and James in Ghostbusters cosplay (go look that up…hint: look for them at the Dragon Con parade!). Kristina is a professor of French at Georgia Gwinnett College.
Be sure to welcome our new members to St. Luke’s. An easy way to find contact information for them (and for all parishioners, for that matter) is to use the Church Life app on your cellphone. If you don’t have it, there’s information on the St. Luke’s homepage just under the Sunday Schedule.
