Calling all creatures great (but not too big!) and small to join us on Saturday, October 8th at 5:00 pm for the Blessing of the Animals.
 
Join us for this short prayer service where we will give thanks for the blessings that our pets are in our lives and pray God’s blessing on them. If you have a pet that died in the past year, you are invited to bring a picture of that pet and honor them during the service. For the safety of all creatures gathered, pets should be appropriately leashed or contained.
 
Even if you don’t have a pet to be blessed, you are invited to join the celebration of all of God’s creatures.

Saturday, October 8th
at 5:00 PM 
Please note new time for service.
