Corvallis
\nMennonite Fellowship dedicated five of our summer worship times to a series on
\nfood and faith adapted from the Simply in Season cookbook. Each
\nweek had a theme that mirrored the cookbook: spring\/environment, summer\/health,
\nfall\/time, and winter\/money. We
\nfound this to be such a rich topic and it was great to have five weeks to
\nexplore these issues. But with a topic so rich, even five weeks wasn’t enough
\ntime to cover everything.<\/p>\n

\nEach
\nservice was led by a different person or family, so we had a variety of
\nactivities, including lots of group discussion and a visit from farmer and “That’s My Farmer” participant
\nAnita Azarenko (of La Mancha Ranch and Orchard). After the first week I heard one person say, “I learned so
\nmuch! I learned how much I don’t know.” Another person commented on how
\ngreat it was to hear about the different things people in our congregation are
\ndoing that go against the mainstream.<\/p>\n

The
\ngoal is not that we all make identical choices or “arrive,” but that
\nwe each continue to take steps on the journey of living our faith — and that a
\nmeaningful way to do this can be through our food choices. On the Sunday
\nfocused on “time,” one person noted how great it would be if we could
\nspend more time doing food projects together, such as canning, which is so much
\nmore fun when done with friends. We have a potluck after church each week, and
\nduring the series we provided index cards and encouraged people to write the
\nstory of their dish — where the ingredients came from, the story of the recipe,
