St. Stephen's Episcopal Church will hold its annual community Blessing of the Animals on Saturday, October 5 from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. on the church lawn. (In the event of inclement weather the service will be moved into the Parish Hall.) There will be a brief liturgy of prayers and readings followed by individual blessings for each pet, as well as prayers offered for families who have experienced the death of a pet. Blessings also will be offered throughout the morning for anyone unable to attend the opening liturgy. The Bedford Humane Society will be on hand to provide information on how the public can support them and give a loving home for the animals they rescue and shelter; some animals may be available for adoption. This is a great opportunity to give thanks for the wonderful members of creation who bless our lives and share their love with us. The community is invited and all pets and their families are most welcomed. For more information contact the church at [email protected] or (434) 525-5511.
