At the Table
Focuses on food systems and the impact of food choices
After driving, eating is the second most
creation-impactful, human activity.*
Our congregation’s celebration of the gift of “daily bread”
can lead to more creation-honoring food choices.
In our Lord’s prayer, Jesus teaches us
simply to ask the Creator for “our daily bread.” Acquiring our daily bread,
however, has become a complicated, multi-national process that has both economic
and ecological implications. The manner in which we plant, fertilize and water
our crops, feed and raise animals for eating, and ship food products around the
globe has a profound impact on creation.
Culminating Activity: A church-wide potluck featuring organic, locally-grown food. By sharing a healthy meal together, we celebrate both our community of faith and the fact that food is a gift from God.
