Blessing of the Pets
It has become a tradition on the day commemorating St. Francis to have a “Blessing of the Animals” and especially OUR PETS!
We recognize that “bring your pet to church day” could become complicated, so we are inviting you to BRING A PICTURE OF YOUR PET(S) to stand in for them, and to share during coffee hour.
Even better, EMAIL A PHOTO to Elaine Pearson and we will share them on the screen! Please provide your name and the pet’s name.
During the service there will be a special blessing and we can share our photos during coffee hour.
