Annual Christmas for the Animals Service at Perfect Paws
Bring your animal companions, bring your family -- join us for a sweet service of celebration and joy to usher in Christmas!
The whole family is invited -- especially Fido and Kitty, the parakeet and goldfish, the ferret and the hamster
-- and yes, even beloved stuffed animals! We're celebrating a very Perfect Paws Pet Ministry Christmas on Sunday, December 17, from 5 to 5:30 p.m., and everyone is welcome to sing and pray, watch a short story about a little bunny who wants to give the baby -- born in a manger -- a perfect gift, and to share with us the wine and bread from God's table in a service officiated by the Rev. Marya DeCarlen.
All faiths are welcome to this engaging service that celebrates our love for the animals in our lives and for all of God's creation.
On this special night of Christmas carols and love, we will be setting up our own 'animals in the forest' scene to welcome the new babe, so grab an animal figurine from your home creche for the night, for placement under our little tree, and also bring photos of your animals -- those who are still alive and those that have died -- to circle all around.

As on every third Sunday of the month, at 5 p.m., the Perfect Paws Pet Ministry service takes place at All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore, in Parish Hall, 46 Cherry Street, Danvers -- the second red door in from the corner. Parking is available on the street, in designated spaces, and in the nearby Municipal Lot on Elm Street. All Saints North Shore is accessible to those with disabilities.
