*Join us on Zoom with your pets!*
We’ll have a very brief service (prayer and reading), meet each other’s pets and bless each and every one of them!
Did you know…October 4th is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi?
St. Francis was known for his love of animals and the environment, making this day the perfect day to say blessing over all our pets!

REVERSE Trunk or Treat will be on Sunday, Oct. 18th at 4pm. Families with children/grandchildren are encouraged to decorate their trunks and dress up in their Halloween costumes. Please sign up if you are bringing children or grandchildren to receive treats at your trunk (decorating is optional). There will be a prize for the best decorated trunk.
Adults from the congregation are encouraged to come between 4pm-5pm to vote on best trunk, and leave treats for each participating child. If you plan on bringing treats, please call or email the church before Thursday morning to let us know, so we can know how many to plan for and let you know how many kids to have goodies for.
*If we are in need of a rain date, we will be looking at Sunday, Oct. 25th, with the same time/plan. Thanks!
