Pet Blessing 

10a-12:00p Saturday

 

Inviting all pets to come with their people to be blessed by our pastor on a drop-in basis between 10a and Noon. House-bound pets represented by ictures will also be blessed too.  Find us outside near the playground on the Oak Park Ave. side of the building (324 N. Oak Park Ave.)

 

Attendees are invited to bring an item listed on the Wishlist of the Animal Care League- click here (animalcareleague.org) that we will deliver following the event.  A donation is not required, but we're pretty confident the animals cared for by the Animal Care League would appreciate the gifts!

 

Attendees will also receive coupons for local merchants serving our community's pet population.

 

Participation in the Costume Give-Away is not required for the Pet Blessing.
