Realizing the important role pets play in people’s lives, Union Lutheran Church has scheduled a special service to honor and celebrate all creatures of God’s creation and the special relationships we share with them. A blessing of animals witnesses to the world God’s love and the Church’s concern for creation. As we recognize our mutual interdependence with God’s creatures, the Church’s witness of stewardship is strengthened.

The Blessing of the Animals will be held, weather permitting, in the outdoor worship area on Sunday, October 3, 2010 – 4pm. If the day is rainy, the service will be held in the Family Life Center.

All animals are welcome provided they are under physical control (leash, harness, bridle, or crate) and are safe to be around others. If your pet is unable to be present, and article representing them (picture, collar, toy, halter, etc.) will be blessed on their behalf.

Please bring a chair for your comfort.
