Blessing of the Animals - August 23rd (Saturday)
Posted July 28th, 2008 by mderidder
“The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. No wonder people enjoy the opportunity to take their animal companions to church for a special blessing. Church is the place where the bond of creation is celebrated.”
We will hold our first annual Blessing of the Animals at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 23. The event will take place outside in the same site as the July 20 outdoor service—south parking lot and adjacent grass.
The event will run approximately 30 minutes and will include a brief service from the Book of Worship led by Pastor Lynn. Light refreshments will be served.
We hope you will join us for this unique event celebrating our fellow creatures.
