Pet Blessing: October 4Saturday, October 4: Blessing of the Animals at 11 AM on the Lawn
All creatures great and small–and their guardians – are welcome. The service will open with a brief liturgy and prayer, then each pet will be blessed individually. Please invite your friends, families, and neighbors to this blessing ceremony. At the Pet Blessing, we will be collecting items for pet blessing bags to go to animal companions of unhoused humans and humane animal rescue veterinary outreach: - Milk bones of many different sizes - Soft treats in original bag - Dry food in original bag (we will divide into smaller portions, copy ingredients and label) - Poop bags - Ziplock bags of many different sizes - Small bottles of water - Gently used leaches, harnesses & apparel - Grooming aids (combs, brushes, etc) - Small fleece blankets |
This will be the home for FPCE's newest outreach ministry. The organizational meeting took place on June 8, 2025. Brainstorming is taking place to create a mission, vision, and logo. Watch this space for more exciting news as we take care of all of God's creatures and their companions!
