GOD LOVES ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL… SO WE’RE THROWING A PARTY FOR THEM!

It’s time for our Blessing of the Pets!

We’re taking church outside, where all God’s creatures can join us—including the ones with fur, feathers, scales, and stuffing!

Bring your favorite four-legged, two-legged, winged, whiskered, stuffed, or otherwise wonderful companion as we celebrate the creatures who bring joy, comfort, laughter, and a whole lot of love into our lives.

Yes, stuffed animals count!

Because if they’ve been loved, cuddled, carried everywhere, and possibly had more adventures than most of us… they deserve a blessing too!

October 4th

11:30 AM

The Rain Garden at St. John

Come for the blessing. Stay for the adorable chaos. Bring whoever—or whatever—has a special place in your heart.

All pets are welcome. Stuffed pets are welcome. Humans are welcome, too.

Come as you are. Bring your pet as they are.

No tricks required. Just love
