Community Blessing of the Animals

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church will hold its annual community Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 4 from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. on the church lawn. (In the event of inclement weather the event will be moved into the Parish Hall.) There will be a brief liturgy of prayers and readings followed by individual blessings for each pet, and special prayers will be offered for those families who have experienced the death of a pet. This is a great opportunity to give thanks for the wonderful members of creation who bless our lives and share their love with us. The community is invited and all pets and their families are most welcomed.
