Food & Faith: A Journey from Soil to the Last Supper
Lent 2024
During Lent, it is easy to feel the pressure of ‘giving up’ certain foods. ‘Giving something up’ during Lent is supposed to remind us that everything in our lives comes from God, but it often turns into a harmful relationship with an important thing in our lives. If you want to give up chocolate for Lent, then that’s okay! But the focus should be on strengthening your relationship with God. For Lent this year, we are inviting you into the practice of noticing how food is connected to many things in our lives.
Together,
We will celebrate the gift of food that God has provided.
We will consider how food is closely tied with our cultures and identities.
We will interrogate how food is connected with injustice and inequity.
We will ask what changes we can make to have a more just society.
We will examine what a healthy relationship with food and community looks like.
We will walk with Jesus during Holy Week through the meals he has.
This resource is an invitation. Nothing here is required of you. There is no ask to count calories. There is no demand that you give up food. All we ask is that you reflect on how closely connected food is with the life of faith and the work of justice so that we all might
have a better relationship with God, one another, and what we eat.
