Join us and our Episcopal brothers and sisters for our annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 1st, 2023. All animals - whether on leashes, in crates, boxes or bowls, or under saddle - and their humans are welcome. If your animal BFF can't come, bring a picture or a stuffed animal as a stand-in. Animals and their humans don't have to be Lutheran to be blessed. We're celebrating all of creation!
This year, we'll gather on the front lawn of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, New Paltz, New York, at 9:30 a.m. for a joint worship service that features the blessing of animals and approximately a 25-minute worship service.
Note: In the event of inclement weather, this joint worship service will relocate to Redeemer Lutheran Church. This information will be shared in the Sunday morning worship e-newsletter, our website, and social media.
So, bring your pets to be blessed, and help us to bless the pets of others! Following the blessing and worship, refreshments will be available.
