BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
OCTOBER 3RD
5 PM
MUMC FRONT LAWN
Please join us on October 3rd at 5 PM for a special blessing of the animals! The service will be held on the front lawn.
A Blessing of Animals, in many congregations, witnesses to God’s and the Church’s love, care, and concern for creation. As we recognize our mutual interdependence with God’s creatures, the Church’s witness of stewardship of creation is strengthened. The blessing is traditionally celebrated on or around the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi.
TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE!

OCTOBER 29
