Blessing of Pets Service at Edmonds Lutheran Church

Sunday, October 7 at 9:30 am

(For more information, contact ELC’s office at 425-744-8090)

The Church recognizes the life and work of St. Francis of Assisi the first Sunday of October. St. Francis was revered as the patron saint of animals. It is a time when people all over the world have livestock and family pets blessed by the Church. This is a lively service, with music and biblical readings centered on God’s creation and the animal kingdom. There will be special music, (dogs often join in) a time for pets to come forward to be blessed and anointed, and a coffee hour after worship with cookies for people and pets. There will also be face painting and balloon animals for kids.
