First Lutheran Pet Blessing
Join us for our annual Pet Blessing (2nd Sunday in August)! We will fellowship on the church lawn adjacent to the parking lot (corner of Kellogg and Water). Bring your people-friendly pets on leashes or in carriers. If your pet is difficult to travel with or easily frightens around people, bring a picture. We will also offer prayers in memory of pets no longer with us. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors of all faith traditions!
