BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS CELEBRATION
April 22nd at 3:00 p.m.
Please come with your pets (animals) to this ecumenical celebration which we will be sharing with the members of Saint Edward the Confessor Roman Catholic Church. This blessing is often done on or near the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4th) because of his great love for all living creatures. However, the spring is a wonderful time for such an occasion when we celebrate new life. Also, this will be on one of the days that we will be focusing on our commitment to Heifer Project International.
Plan to gather in our parking area. There will be tents set-up near the side entrance and the Pastor’s space, and so try to park elsewhere.
The Service will begin with a brief community Order of Worship and, then, people will be asked to bring their animals forward for an individual blessing. A table will hold forms so that you can fill-in your name and the name(s) of your pet and hand it to one of the pastors.
Women’s Fellowship Book Discussion
A Reminder! - Monday, May 14, 2012 7 p.m.
Please plan on joining us for the May 14th meeting of the Women’s Fellowship, when a discussion of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society will be on the agenda. It’s a great book, a light read, and a subject that should lead to interesting conversation. The discussion, which will be led by Mary Waight, is open to all women of the church. Copies of the book are available in the church office. Please consider joining us, and see Margaret Greenlee if you would like a copy.
