What about a "waste" problem? Many of us have a complicated relationship with food.

Every year, Creation Connection hosts an interfaith gathering to pray and educate around an issue of environmental justice. Descendants Day emphasizes Loving Your Neighbor Through Time, that is, reflecting on the importance of our choices on the lives of future generations. We share a meal and spend time in fun and fellowship as well. Several faith traditions provide leadership in prayer. Let Descendants Day this year be a time of prayerful reflection on care of the earth, and our call to live sustainably.
