Email Retreat Series 2019: Lent on a Plate
Table-sharing is more than feeding. It is a way of becoming nourishment and love for one another. Jesus brings a feast of Presence to his picnics, potlucks, dinner parties, breakfasts and snacks. We’ll explore these stories and discover themes that will guide and support our journey through Lent.
Each week we will focus on images from food stories with Jesus. We’ll consider wisdom themes of inner hospitality, abundance, inclusion, generosity, risk, and letting go.
The meals we set upon our kitchen table become the focus, not just of our nourishment, but of our spiritual practices and prayer.
This is what’s great about Lent on a Plate – every time we eat and drink we are reminded of God’s Presence and give attention to this ordinary sacrament.
Recipes are included! Let this Lent be a feast of Presence.
