Blessing of the Animals this Sunday
Let’s be honest, during these last 18 months, those of us with animals in our households have already been bringing our pets into our worship space. So let’s really invite them in - to give thanks for them, to acknowledge the gift they are to us, and to bless them! On Sunday, October 3rd, during our 9:30am worship time, we will be celebrating the Feast of St. Francis by blessing our pets and beloved creatures! We invite you to share your beloved animals with the whole worshiping community in two ways…
First, consider sending in a picture… it could be a faithful companion of many years, it could be a pandemic puppy or COVID kitty, it could be the birds or other creatures that you have been sharing your outdoor space with. Please attach your photos to an email and send them to pastordavid@comchristchurch.org by TODAY, September 30th.
Second, if possible, have your furry (or scaly, or feathered) family member with you in your sacred Zoom worship space. Together we will give thanks for and bless all God’s creatures!

The Reconciling in Christ team invites you to join us in a book study later this fall. We will be reading David P. Gushee's book, Changing Our Mind (Definitive 3rd Edition). To learn more about this, we invite you to stick around after Zoom Worship for the 3rd Sunday RIC conversation (October 17th) led by Steve Delamarter, Beth Habecker and Pastor David. |
