Companion to All Creatures
Join us this Sunday at 9:30 AM for an exploration of a variety of beliefs about all beings. Do you believe all dogs go to heaven? What about the ethics of eating meat? Come bring all the questions. Then, at 11 AM join us for our annual animal blessing. All pets and stuffed animals are welcome at the 11 AM service.
