Blessing of the Animals – June 14
We are part of a grand and glorious creation, sharing the world with “all creatures great and small.” It would be difficult to over estimate how important the rest of the animal world is to human beings. Animals of all kinds are our protectors, providers and friends. From dogs that see and hear for us, to sheep that give us wool and chickens that give us eggs, to the family pet that keep us company and cheers us when we are sad, to eagles in flight that inspire our dreams, animals are a big part of our well-being. Like us, animals are God’s precious creatures.
In gratitude to God and in respect and affection for our animals, we will share together in a service of “The Blessing of the Animals.” The special outdoor service is a first for our church, and will be held this Sunday June 14, 2009 at 10:00AM. Invite your human friends and bring your animal friends to be blessed. Animals of all types and sizes are welcome, but please be sure they are under control.
