About the event
Sunday, October 17, at 3 pm Trinity UMC front yard Bring your pet and join us. Invite a friend to come with you. As autumn arrives, people in various places may notice a procession of animals-from dogs and cats to hamsters and even horses-being led to churches for a special ceremony called the Blessing of Animal/Pets. This custom is conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi's love for all creatures. This is a great opportunity to invite people who might not regularly attend church. Connect with them through a mutual love of animals. A special individual blessing will be offered that day to creatures great and small.
Please bring leashed pets on a leash or bring pets in carrier to ensure their safety.
Bring along a lawn chair!
We will also be collecting items for the Bladen County Animal Shelter. Bring treats, dog and cat food, puppy and kitten food, litter, blankets, cleaners,…
