Blessing of the Animals

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2025 - 9:00am

Local people and their pets gather at the outdoor Chapel by the back pond as Immanuel clergy ask God's blessing on all creatures -- both our animal companions and all animals of the world. After a brief service, each animal present (and their human) will be prayed for individually and given a treat bag. Please have all animals under leash control or in a carrier.
