Rain or Shine! 🐾
Join us for a heartfelt, family-friendly worship service featuring a special Blessing of the Animals.
Bring your dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, scaly friends, or other companion animals to receive a special blessing. We will give thanks for the love and joy they bring to our lives and pray for their health and well-being.
If your pet can't attend, bring a photo for the blessing.
Rain or shine, we’ll be ready! A tent is set up outside just in case it rains. So, bring an umbrella and come prepared for the weather.
We look forward to celebrating God’s wonderful creation with you and your furry, feathered, or scaly friends!
