Memorial United Methodist Church will celebrate a Blessing of the Animals event on Saturday September 30 from 10 to 1 PM.
All pets and people are welcome.
The public is invited to bring dogs, cats, birds, fish or any pet — as long as the pet is safely leashed or in an enclosed pet carrier.
There will also be general prayers for healing of pets who are ill and honoring the memory for those that are deceased. If a pet cannot be brought to the service, participants may bring a photo and complete a special blessing card so that animals who cannot be present may be blessed by name.
After the service, there will be treats for pets and people, and music to enjoy.
