October 5, 2025 Animal Blessing SundayThe Calling of the Creatures By Ian W. Riddell
“Come hoof and trunk and tail and horn
and paw and wing and claw;
Come bird and reptile, mammal born
all full of nature’s law.
Bring bark and crow and ribbit, too
and silent stare and hiss;
Bring purr and trill and warble, too
and voice no ear can miss.
We gather here each life and all
to celebrate and sing
to honor creature large and small
’Tis holiness we bring.”
October 5th is our annual Animal Blessing Sunday. All well behaved animal friends (of any species!) are welcome! Leashes, crates, or other appropriate forms of containment (eg. terrariums for the friends of our herpetology enthusiasts!) are required. If you are unable to bring your companion critter for a blessing, feel free to bring a photo. Looking forward to seeing you AND your friends! Service leaders Barb and Roberta
