  Pet Blessing Next Sunday, October 1, 2023:  On the Sunday designated as the Feast of St Francis, we have a worship service that includes the Blessing of Animals.  We gather with our pets in the Fellowship Hall with them under our control in a cage or on a leash.  Larger animals like horses can be brought to the outside door to the Fellowship Hall for a blessing.  This is always a special time for pets and their people, and we hope you will invite your friends and neighbors to join us this coming Sunday.
