Blessing of the Animals

View the video here. Our lives are enriched by the love and lessons we receive from our animal companions. On this festive Sunday, we will deviate slightly from our usual routine, due to the weather we will meet inside to give thanks for animals big and small. Everyone is still welcome to bring their pets on leashes and in carriers are very welcome, as are stuffed animals, and photos of pets that have passed away or wouldn’t enjoy this experience! And we are inviting those with animals to sit closer to the front of the sanctuary, so that the back of the sanctuary can be a safer space for those with allergies. This service will feature Douglas Wood’s beloved children’s book “Old Turtle” read by Rev. Jaimie’s pet turtle, Herbert!
