This weekend, our church celebrates the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology and animals, and we will have our own Blessing of the Animals - and we mean ALL animals!
Today, October 4th at 5 p.m., we invite you to gather in front of Old Brick with your beloved pets - dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and all other furry, scaly, or slinky creatures - or bring a picture of your pet, if you prefer. We will sing some songs and offer individual blessings for each of our beautiful pets. We'll also have a few treats for the pets.... and a little pizza for their human companions!
Then at 9 a.m. Family Worship on Sunday morning, October 5th, we will have The Blessing of the Plushies, so this is your chance to bring your favorite stuffed friend with you to church, and they can be blessed, too!
