Join us at NewDay Praise Worship for a special Blessing of the Animals and Pets ceremony during worship on Sunday, October 8. As animal lovers, we appreciate God’s Creation and have a special place in our hearts for the furry, scaly, and feathered friends that fill our lives with love. While we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home this year, we are already working on something cool for next year’s ceremony. But don’t worry; you can still participate by bringing a picture of your pet or favorite animal, a stuffed animal that represents them, or one of their favorite toys to worship on October 8. The blessing of animals is a tradition dating back to the 13th century, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, a great lover and respecter of animals. We hope you join us for this special ceremony to honor and bless our beloved animal companions.
