Lenten Series - Wednesdays at Noon - Just Eating

Wednesdays February 6, 13, 20, 27 and March 6 and12
noon to 1 p.m. at the Presbytery Center, Tennent, NJ

Special for Lent—our Hunger Action Program offers an innovative Lenten Series that explores the way we eat and live. Just Eating? Practicing Our Faith at the Table aims to bring into dialog daily eating habits, the Christian faith, and the needs of the broader world through readings, action steps, and healthy eating tips. The title is a reminder that we can eat as an everyday activity or we can eat justly and explore the relationship between our food and our faith.

The curriculum will take us on a journey from the table of the Lord to the table of the world that will challenge, encourage, and enrich all who participate. Scripture, prayer, and stories from the local and global community are used to explore five key aspects of our relationship with food:

  • the health of our bodies;

  • the challenge of hunger;

  • the health of the earth that provides our food;

  • the ways we use food to extend hospitality and enrich relationships;

  • the opportunities for action, renewal, and transformation in our eating practices—as individuals and as faith communities.

Please register by phone at 201-910-7047 or email phylliszoon@gmail.com. A copy of the curriculum can be picked up at the Presbytery Center.

Dear Phyllis,
"Just eating" sounds like a great idea. Maybe we can set aside a day in our church to discuss these important issues. I love the blog. Good job!
