Join us for our 3rd Annual Blessing of the Animals service on Sunday, December 21 at 3:00 p.m. The service of blessing will take place in the outer courtyard next to the Sanctuary entrance off of Briarhaven Road. This year we will gather for a brief worship and celebration of the gift that God offers to us in the love and companionship of our animals. After worship, each animal will be blessed and will receive a certificate of blessing.
In the Gospels, the animals are the first to see and receive the blessing of the birth of the newborn Savior, so this annual event is quite special for those who love their four-legged (and other!) family members. Rev. DeAndrea Dare and Rev. Bayard Pratt will lead this service and bless the animals.
We encourage you to bring your animals of all sizes and breeds for this service. For the safety of the animals and others, we encourage you to secure your pets and animals properly.
