I copied this from an e-mail Warren sent around:

"The "potluck" is an important fixture in churches across America and a communal meal practiced in many denominations. The act of coming together and sharing food means more than just eating. Potlucks create an opportunity for fellowship and community and can also be used as learning tool - a way to focus on the gift of food and the processes that bring it to our tables.

Organize a "100 Mile Potluck" in which all of the ingredients are grown or made within a 100 mile radius of your church. There is an abundance of food grown within 100 miles of your congregation. This is an opportunity to support local farmers and protect creation.

Eating locally might be as easy as cooking with homegrown squash or making apple cider from your local orchard. It might mean your first-ever exploration of our local Farmer’s Market. It might mean pausing to consider the labels at your local healthy-food store. It will definitely mean taking a different look at the experience of acquiring, preparing and eating food.

When we take the time to consider the many hands and processes involved in bringing food to our plate, we become aware of the profound blessing that is present in each bite. Food is God's bounty—an entire growing season's worth of work by a farmer and the product of rain, sunshine, healthy soil, and God's grace. Help your congregation remember this by participating in the 100-mile Potluck."
