Good People of the Northwood Congregational Church,
UCC
This Sunday, July 8, we will be Blessing our
animals in our worship time. This has proven to be a very meaningful
time to many and we hope you and your pets will join us.
I am always amazed at how well the animals get
along, so don't hesitate to Fido, Fifi, or Sam the Salamander (in a salamander
holder). If you don't think your animals will enjoy church, or are
too big to come into our Sanctuary, bring a picture and God can bless your pet
from afar.
This service does put a little more work on those
good people who keep our Sanctuary clean. So if you would be willing
to spend 1/2 hour or so in the next week vacuuming extra animal hair, we would
greatly appreciate it. Let me know when that would be convennient
and we will make sure you can get into the Sanctuary.
Often, Blessing of the Animals is done around the
celebration of St. Francis, who believed all of creation was his Sister or
Brother. As we celebrate all that God has made, the special relationship
we have with our animal friends, and that anything brings us into worship with
God, we would love to have you join us.
Blessing on this glorious weekend.
