Our celebration of St. Frances was wonderful! The Alleluia Choir opened worship and the pets--furry and stuffed-- in the pew were full participants in the service. Those of us who lost pets were invited to light a candle in their beloved friend's memory. Blessed and loved. Is there anything better? We will have more photos on our website, www.goodshepherdrmt.org and invite you to share any photos you may have taken with us by emailing them to eshepherd@goodshepherdrmt.org.
