As I drive through the farmland of Berks, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties, I notice the harvest season coming to an end. The steady rhythm of planting, plowing, and crop rotation has concluded, with the final crops being gathered, processed, and stored for winter use. Signs promoting summer produce around bright red barns were replaced by those advertising homemade pies. Baskets of watermelons and tomatoes gave way to a variety of squashes and pumpkins, along with dried corn stalks for fall decorations. It will not be long until one sees the sign “see you next year!”
This Sunday, through the ritual of bread communion*, we will express our gratitude to the Earth for her bounty and abundance and the ways her gifts nourish and sustain us, and to the countless hands that work to ensure this food is available to bless our table.
In the humbleness and tenderness of this moment, we will also express our gratitude for our Beloved Community, which holds us as we seek and strive to embody our religious and spiritual values, creating a community of love, strength, and support that is larger than ourselves.
Join us this Sunday as an intergenerational team bakes bread, and we practice what it means to be in relationship with one another through the sharing of food.
*A gluten-free bread option will be available.
