Our message at yesterday's service was on food, from our own Ethical Eating group. I missed it while helping with RE (aides needed October 6th and 27th, contact Amy Regnier), but ethical eating is a topic that touches us all. As I've grown away from my Christian roots, I can feel some tension around saying "grace," but when we sit down to eat we can all take a moment to reflect on the plant and (for many of us) animal life, as well as the human labor that goes into nourishing us, and reflect on the decisions we're making for our own health.
