“Blessing of the Animals” – Peace Service

May 4, 2025
4:00pm - 5:00pm
The Field Across Trenholm

Did you know that the “Blessing of the Animals” service comes from The Book of Common Worship?

Plan to bring your family or a friend, children, and especially your pets for a special worship service on the Field across Trenholm. Prepare for a unique outdoor worship experience you won’t want to miss. Our offering collection will go to the Howlmore Animal Sanctuary. CLICK HERE to view the “wish list” for Howlmore.  An offering of animal treats and supplies will be collected during the service only. (We are not collecting items on campus.)

A Service for the Blessing of the Animals- “Almighty and everlasting God, Creator of all things and giver of all life, let your blessing be upon all these animals. May our relationship with them mirror your love, and our care for them be an example of your bountiful mercy. Grant the animals health and peace. Strengthen us to love and care for them as we strive to imitate the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and your servant Francis. Amen.” – excerpt from The Book of Common Worship (2018)

See the MAP of the Field and how our service will be “set up” for guests and their pets.

Please join us and don’t forget your lawn chairs!
