VOLUME 73, ISSUE 4 | AUGUST-DECEMBER 2026

THE MESSENGER WORSHIP & FORMATION SUNDAY 8 am Holy Eucharist with Homily & Hymns 8:45-9:30 am Parish Community Breakfast 9:30 - 10:15 am Sunday School for All Ages 10:30 am Holy Eucharist with Children’s Chapel, Sermon, & Choir 3:30 - 5:30 pm - Middle School EYC (Starting October 4th ) 4 pm More Than A Meal 5 pm Contemplative Holy Eucharist and Third Sunday Evensong 5:30-7:30pm - High School EYC (Starting October 4th )

WEDNESDAY 11:00 - 11:45 am Mid-Week Bible Study (Aug 19-Dec 16) Noon Holy Eucharist with Healing Prayers in the Chapel 5:00 - 7:00 pm Parish Community Nights (Sept 16 - Nov 18)

All parishioners, friends, and seekers are encouraged to practice intentional engagement in life at Grace-St. Luke’s, considering our vision: to be a thriving community of hope, belonging, and healing. Hope is as at the core of Christian faith and is the trust that God will fulfill God’s promises to us in a way that leads us to true freedom. Hope is living faithfully in relationship with God, the One who is “our hope for years to come and eternal home” and in whom all things shall be well.

In this August to December 2026 issue of The Messenger: Life at GSL, you will find regular, seasonal, and new offerings for adults, youth, and children to assemble for reminders about and experiences of hope. Each is offered for one to be encouraged and even transformed.

Sunday and weekday worship offerings, formation (learning) classes on Sundays and Wednesdays including Parish Community Nights (September 16 – November 18), outreach and justice ministries, music events, recreation and wellness programs, socials and fellowships, and more, individually and collectively, anticipate that hope will be found and celebrated by participants.

I am reminded of a quote by Father Henri Nouwen (1932-1996) and wholeheartedly agree. “All the great spiritual leaders in history were people of hope. Abraham, Moses, Ruth, Mary, Jesus, Rumi, Gandhi and Dorothy Day, all lived with a promise in their hearts that guided them toward the future without the need to know exactly what it would look like. Let’s live with hope.”

I look forward to sharing the “hope journey” with you this Fall and beyond.

Godspeed and gratefully, Ollie+ The Reverend Ollie V. Rencher, Rector 901.252.6320 | orencher@gracestlukes.org

Volunteers are the backbone of children’s ministry programming and Safe Church requires at least two adults on hand at every session.

We would love to have you join our team and will value your participation!

With thanks, Jocelyn Busby and Ann Prascher

YOUTH MINISTRY It’s hard to believe that August 4th marked my one-year anniversary at GSL. This summer gave me the opportunity to participate in youth Spiritual Practices training, reflect on our first year together, and listen carefully to the thoughtful feedback shared by our youth and families.

Those experiences have shaped several exciting updates for the year ahead.

During the Sunday Formation Hour, we will offer a dedicated Confirmation Class using the “My Faith, My Life” curriculum. This will provide youth with intentional time to explore their faith, ask honest questions, and prepare for Confirmation in community.

We've also adjusted EYC meeting times to better serve the distinctive needs of both our middle school (3:30-5:30pm) and high school students (5:30-7:30pm).

Additionally, we are launching Pre YC, during Parish Community Nights, a new gathering designed to help 4th graders build friendships and confidence as they prepare to enter youth ministry.

I'm eager to see how the Holy Spirit shines on these new ideas and revisions, and I am grateful for your willingness to support our youth, volunteer your time, pray faithfully, and invest in the next generation, a remarkable witness to God's love.

Marta Lopez-Flohr, Director of Youth & Family Ministry

JUSTICE Justice at GSL focuses on Inspiring the faith community to live out our Baptismal Covenant, “to strive for justice and peace among all people” by practicing self-reflection and direct action. Its Values are: INCLUSIVE: all are invited to be a part of our mission. SEEKING: to gain understanding of other’s perspectives and perceptions; to find our common humanity POLITICAL, NOT PARTISAN: in the sense of seeking power in the public arena, not in support of any political party RESPECTFUL: to be aware of other’s viewpoints and perspectives.

WHY WE GIVE TO GSL Life at GSL is thriving in meaningful ways, including membership of 410 households, increased Sunday and Wednesday worship attendance, and an increase of visitors drawn to our faith community. Our parishioners and neighbors have benefitted from GSL's tapestry of worship, pastoral care, Christian formation (learning), service (outreach, justice), music, recreation and wellness, fellowship, and special event offerings. All and more, including operational expenses, are made possible by household investments in GSL to support and sustain our mission, ministry, and vision.

Unlike charities that receive donations from multiple sources, GSL is supported by the faithful giving of members, parishioners, and friends. Each pledge is both an outward expression of gratitude for the blessings that one receives from God and an expressive part of the threefold ministry of giving time, talent, and money to God’s Church. We hope you will be inspired by these testimonials from a few of the families who support Grace-St. Luke’s financially. You can give today and support GSL’s mission as a place of hope, belonging, and healing today at www.gracestlukes.org/give

“We cherish the strong sense of community that GSL provides. We support Grace-St. Luke's financially because we believe in sustaining the Episcopal tradition, its thoughtful and relevant theology and educational opportunities, and its spirit of openness and inclusion, ensuring that these values continue to thrive in the heart of midtown Memphis.”

ED HORD & HAL WRIGHT “For our family, giving to Grace-St. Luke’s Church is a spiritual practice that helps to support its mission, care for our community, and help others experience God’s love.”

JENNIFER & RYAN GIBBS

“Nedra and I believe giving is a spiritual practice. It is one way we are able to respond in gratitude for the many blessings we have.

It is a joy to be able to support our church community in this way.”

REBECCA LOCKE & NEDRA WICK

“We feel blessed to call GSL our church home, and it’s important to us that we support it through annual giving. We are thankful that our contributions help sustain the day‑to‑day life of the church, and that they go outside the church to reach our community with the love of God.”

PAIGE & SCOTT MATLOCK www.gracestlukes.org/give

News from GSL School We are so excited to launch the 2026-27 school year! Our first day of school is August 10, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our returning families and welcome all of our new students, faculty, and staff to the Saints community. In addition to the teachers who will be filling important spots in every division, we are especially pleased to share the appointment of our new Head of Middle School, Pam Smith, and our new School Chaplain (already a familiar face at this church), Deacon Jessica Abell. Everyone is looking forward to a great school year!

One of our most exciting projects this year will be the continuing work on our campus master plan in conjunction with the church. We are pleased to partner together on this important project, led by the design team at OOBA, which will help ensure the future sustainability of both our organizations.

We also draw your attention to a special event this fall. We are bringing in two noted guest speakers, psychologists Dr. Michael Thompson and Dr. Robert Evans. Former teachers and longtime child and family therapists, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Evans have recently co-authored a book geared toward independent school parents, and they have a wealth of knowledge to share about child-rearing. They will speak on campus Thursday, Sept. 17 about parenting with less stress and more joy. You are welcome to join us! Stay tuned for more information.

Finally, we say a special welcome and thank you to all the church parishioners who’ve chosen GSL for their children’s educational journey! At the time of this writing, we are still enrolling students in select grades. As we all surely agree, an educational experience grounded in the Episcopal tradition is impossible to beat! If you know a family relocating to Memphis who will be looking at schools, please tell them about GSL. You may direct any inquiries to Head of School Andy Surber or Director of Admissions Shelly McGuire at 901-278-0200. We would love the chance to introduce more families to our warm and welcoming community!
