A message from Cody:
Thank you all for doing what you did and for those of you who made it to the service for sure. It was a very heartfelt event to say the least.
One purpose of feasting is to get back in touch with the earth that sustains us, to glorify the God that made it and to pledge ourselves to save the land that grows our food.

Zephaniah 2: But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD: the remnant of Israel.
1 Corinthians 1: It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.”
Matthew 4: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. … “
And while you go through life, know how wonderful it is that you’re going at all. Baby mosquito, the story tells, came back after its first time flying. Its mother asked, “Well, how do you feel?” And baby mosquito answered, “It was wonderful! Everyone was clapping for me.” Go on and on and on. Don’t quit.
