November 8, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Blessing of the Animals"
Finally, the program your pets have been waiting for! This Sunday, Heidi Ogas will be leading us in a Blessing of the Animals.
Please bring your pets to gather with us out on the patio. For their safety and ours, please leash, cage, crate, harness or otherwise contain your critters. If you have a pet who has passed, or one you don't feel comfortable bringing, feel free to bring a picture, toy or memento. The service will be a bit shorter because of our pets' possible anxiety at being in a strange place.
All ages are welcome to attend the Sunday program.
