All leashed, well-behaved pets are invited to bring their owners along. If owners cannot bring their pets, they can bring a photo of their pet for a blessing.

A memorial service to honor deceased pets will begin at the church immediately after the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Participants may bring a photo of their deceased pet to be placed on the altar.

The blessing of pets will follow the memorial service at noon. Outdoor and drive-up blessings are being offered at the side of the church along Peoria Ave. Blessings will also be offered for pets more comfortable being indoors in the church fellowship hall, located in the church’s lower level.
