Farro and Gut Health
Pastor Cathy Hanus, Holistic Health Coach
Opening Prayer
Springtime luncheon
Blessed be the Earth for providing us this food
Blessed be the Sun for helping it to grow
Blessed be the Wind and Birds for carrying its seed
Blessed be the Rain for the water’s loving flow.
Blessed be the hands that helped prepare this meal,
May those hands and our hands, bodies too, be well and quick to heal.
Blessed be our friends, our families, and all of our loved ones.
Blessed be our mother earth, our father sky and sun. Amen.
– Christian Prayer, Wanderlust.

As we come together at this special time, let us pause a moment to appreciate the opportunity for good company and to thank all those past and present whose efforts have made this event possible.
We reap the fruits of our society, our country, and our civilization, and take joy in the bounties of nature on this happy occasion.
Let us also wish that, some day, all people on Earth may enjoy the same good fortune that we share.
