Annual Perfect Paws 'Christmas For the Animals' Sunday
The whole family -- including the four-footed fur kids -- are invited to this sweet service of celebration with Carols and music.
Well-known vocalist and musician Steve O’Connell will be bringing his gift of song to the “Christmas for the Animals” Perfect Paws Pet Ministry service on Sunday, December 20, at 5 p.m.
All faiths and all household animals are invited to join us for a short service of gratitude for our animals and all creation, and to hear a sweet story about how barnyard animals witnessed the birth of baby Jesus.
And, there will be SANTA! And a photo booth so you and Fido or Mitzi and Rex can pose for a Christmas picture that will be available, online, for free, on the next day.

Steve O’Connell is a member of the Northshoremen Barbershop Chorus, and is the lead singer in the barbershop quartet, the “Essex County 4.” His quartet was named “Patriot Division Seniors Quartet Champion” at a recent competition in Burlington, VT. As a young man he began singing in coffee houses while a student at UMass Amherst. Upon graduation he continued to perform, first as a single artist and later with a band called “Solid Oak,” in clubs on the North Shore and Cape Cod. He and his wife Amy live in Danvers, and have three adult children, two cats and one dog. Sadly, they said goodbye to their 13 year-old chocolate lab, Sophie, just last week. She was a joy and a blessing to Steve and his family.
Light refreshments will be available after the brief service offered by the Rev. Marya DeCarlen. Please join us!
You’ll be glad you did!
