This beautiful earth sustains us, and whether or not we recognize the mysteries of all living and non-living things, God is indeed present in them.

The act of producing food is one of the best ways to reflect on the secrets of creation. We too often forget that creation is a constant activity of God rather than a single moment when God formed the world, wound it up and set it in motion.

When we grow, raise, tend or catch food we are direct participants in this activity and we benefit spiritually when we recognize our own role in it.

This year's Fast for Change materials focus on food production and call us into deeper relationship with God, the earth, and our communities. 

The new prayer and reflection booklet, 7 Days to Tend the Earth, has a piece of original art, a prayer, a fact, and a suggestion for a small change for each day.  Order booklets for yourself a small group at no cost to you.
