Blessing of the Animals - October 13, 2007

Blessing of the Animals Bulletin

Our Blessing of the Animals service on October 13, 2007, was well attended.  The first hymn sung, "All Things Bright and Beautiful," which continues, "All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all," was very appropriate.

Following the worship service each of the animals came forward with their humans to be individually blessed by one of the ministers. 

All three ministers participated in the service.  Pictured on the right (from right to left) are Rev. Paul Kirbas, his wife, Jennifer, and their dog, Ginger, along with Rev. Caryle Wilkie, her husband, Peter, and their dog, Hamish.  Not shown in this photo are Rev. Jay Moses, his wife, Sharri, and their dog, Winnie.
