Feasting and Fasting in Advent

We were treated to a prayer time on Tuesday, led by Elaine Swigart, on feasting and fasting. First we shared food together in silence. We were encouraged to connect with each other with our eyes as we ate. Then we spent some time thinking and talking about feasting and fasting. When have we fasted? What was that like? Mindful that we are in the season of Advent, we ended with quiet reflection on what it is we would like to feast on in this season, and from what we would choose to fast. It was certainly food for thought -- and food for the soul. Thanks, Elaine!
