Grace First and P’nai Or welcome the entire community to an Interfaith Blessing of the Animals, in partnership with South Coast Interfaith Council this Sat., May 11, at the Grace First Presbyterian Church lawn (3955 Studebaker Road).
Members of the community are invited to bring their own pets. They are also invited to bring photos of any animals or pets who have passed away and/or a pet’s ashes for a special blessing of remembrance. Clergy of various faith traditions will be present to offer brief reflections and prayers remembering animals who could not be present or who are ill; they will also offer a recognition of animals in shelters waiting for homes or who have been poorly treated, and give thanks for all God’s creatures, including those beloved animals who are our pets.
