Parishioners, friends, neighbors, and pets of every description are invited to gather in the church on Wednesday, October 2, at 5:30 p.m. for a brief service of prayer and music (featuring the Junior Choir), after which we will process outside for individual pet blessings and a cookout. Blessings will be available for stuffed animals and photographs of absent pets, as well as for any live animal you care to bring with you.
