Farmer God who brings forth life from the earth,
We lift up to you the women and men whose livelihoods grow from the soil.
- For those unsettled by a changing climate;
- For those who wrestle when land stewardship and market realities clash;
- For those who find joy in farming but have no land;
- For those who have land and skills but lack markets and successors.
- And for those who have no access to fresh, healthy food.
Christ who knelt in the dust,
We offer the broken places in our food system to your healing touch.
—Jennifer Halteman Schrock, a member of the Creation Care Task Force.
