This five-part series looks at how our faith is expressed in everything from what we choose to eat to who we choose to eat it with. Each session opens and closes with prayer and can include some form of hands on cooking event. This class works well in a series or as stand-alone lessons in both the church classroom and as part of a retreat.

"So good to do real cooking but on a class based on God's nourishment, not just based on gourmet gluttonary or trying to over-impress someone with the techniques"

Hospitality is more than an industry, it is an ancient spiritual practice. This five-part series is great as a Lenten study, especially when pared with modest meals that embody hospitality shared.

"The historical perspective was interesting, the discussions brought some 'ahas,' and our experiments in extending hospitality were revealing."

Based on Anitra's six-year experience as an elected member of the Oregon House of Representatives, this 60-90 minute class hghlights how small, committed groups of Christians can have a big impact on public policy in their communities.
