Blessing of the Animals Service, Sunday, October 4   [ 2009-09-15 ]

The blessing of the animals in honor of St. Francis of Assisi will take place at morning worship on Sunday, Oct. 4 at 10 am. The service will be held outside in front of the church, weather permitting, and inside if it rains. We bless our animals to remind ourselves that they, in their ability to live gently on the earth and to be present in every moment, bless us by their presence in our lives. All are welcome to bring pets, farm animals, and stuffed animals to receive a blessing. Animals should be non-aggressive and leashed, bridled, or otherwise contained.
