Blessing of the Animals

We will have our popular Blessing of the Animals event. There are several options to participate:
  • Bring your well-behaved pet to service! We are welcoming pets to our worship service on Sunday. Please have all pets on leashes or in carriers during the service and be prepared in case of accidents. After service, your pet can receive its blessing on the Colorado Patio.
  • If you don't want to bring your pet to worship service, you will have time to go home, pick up your pet, and bring them to the blessing on the Colorado Patio. 
  • If your beloved pet is shy, uncomfortable around other animals or aggressive, we will gladly offer a blessing to your pet from a photograph.

The One in, One Out Clothing Rack

Bring in one item of laundered clothing on a hanger that you haven’t worn— even if it still has the price tag on it! Then "shop" the rack for an item that strikes your fancy.
