On Saturday, November 7th at 10am, Pastor Bob will be leading a Blessing of the Animals service outside on the East side of the property. Bring your furry friend, your scaly side kick, or your compact companion and join us in asking for God’s blessing on our beloved pets. There will be a joint service followed by individual blessings for each pet family. Every pet will receive a certificate of blessings that is good for one year.

This service is open to the community, so please invite your family, friends, and neighbors.
