Flying Pig Barbeque, Blessing of the Animals

Lotsa fun yesterday...

So, a hardy crew, led by Geoff Walker, showed up before the sun came up to smoke pork butts and chicken for St. Dunstan's annual Flying Pig Barbeque.

In attendance were Geoff (obviously), new parishioner, Lee Cline, Joseph Henry Monti, Steve and Connor Mark, former parishioner Danny Woodward, and Geoff's son, Wells.

First order of the day is to generate coals in the fire barrel, then prepare the butts for smoking.

Once the meat's on the grill, then we chill, and marinade and flip the butts every so often.

While the meat is smoking, the 8:30 service is held next to the smoking pit.

When the butts are done, it's time to put the chicken on.

A chopping crew arrives in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, the photographer was wiped out and didn't get pictures of the actual dinner, but lots of folks showed up for good food, good music, and good fellowship.

This Sunday, we're looking forward to the Blessing of the Animals in the Beech Grove.

Bring your furred, feathered or finned friends to the Beech Grove for this special service at 10:45. No Sunday School this day.
