Gather on the lawn starting at 1:30pm. At 2:00pm we will process into the church for a brief service to thank God for the blessing of all creation and to pray for the continued well-being of our world. Following the service, we will celebrate the St. Francis Festival with food and activities on the West Lawn.
All community members are invited to this non-denominational blessing—with or without an animal—to celebrate all of God’s creation and ask for God’s blessing on our animals.
