Blessing of the Animals

Sunday April 23, 2006

It was such a delight to share our first Blessing of the Animals service today. We had two white mice, two tadpoles, a very chubby hamster, one live cat and one beloved stuffed cat, a fighter fish named Nemo, a very large iguana, a bunny wrapped tenderly in a towel, and a horseshoe representing a new horse. You brought in dogs by the armful, dogs in little argyle sweaters, big retrievers and little snausages. There were more dogs in church this morning than I’ve seen at any other animal blessing service. We’ve gone to the dogs, and it’s great. What fun! (Rev. Vicki)
