Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
You are invited to join us Sunday, Aug. 30, at 10 a.m. in the Blaine Courtyard for our Blessing of the Animals worship service. Whether you have been part of the Blaine Memorial family for many years, are visiting for the first time or are joining us from another place, you are welcome here.
We’ll gather outside in the courtyard for a special time of worship as we celebrate and give thanks for the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love into our lives.
Bring your beloved pets to receive a special blessing. If your pet isn’t able to join us in person, you’re welcome to bring a photo instead. We’ll also have a small altar where you can place a photo of your animal as part of our worship, as well as special treats for our canine and feline friends.
Rev. Karen invites you to slow down and notice the beauty of God’s creation. We’ll reflect on Psalm 104:10-15, 18, 24-25 (NRSVUE) and Genesis 1:20-25 (NRSVUE), which remind us of a God who creates, provides and fills the world with life and wonder.
Since we will be gathering for this special Blessing of the Animals service, there will be no Church School or BYG Youth Group on Sunday. Instead, we invite everyone to participate together in worship as we celebrate and give thanks for God’s creatures.
