THIS SUNDAY, October 4 we celebrate the FEAST OF ST. FRANCIS, so we’ll be putting special emphasis on Francis in our Zoom worship, with a guest preacher from the Community of Francis and Claire.

IMMEDIATELY after the service, you are invited to bring your caged or leashed animals to the church for a BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS and a special opportunity for a photo with a life-sized cutout of St Francis. We will be present until noon. We will ask you to park at least one space apart in our parking lot, and to wear your mask, and we’ll have Safety Ushers present to direct you, as we stage one pet-family at a time and keep this experience joyful and safe. We’ll have dog/cat treats available too. Kids are welcome to show up dressed in animal costumes.
