Blessing of the Pets

Welcome pet lovers of all ages! Bring your dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils and hermit crabs to the Willow Grove Church lawn on Sunday, September 25 between 4:00 and 5:30 pm to receive a blessing from our Pastor, Rev. Cynthia Cochran-Carney. If your pet is sick or has died, bring a picture and we will include this pet in a blessing. All Pets and animals are welcome, but must be on a leash or in a cage. 

Join us at 4:00.for a brief service of prayer and singing.  Each pet will receive an individual blessing. Afterward enjoy an exciting dog agility course demonstration by Sylvette Hartroth and her award winning shetland sheep dogs.  There will also be a puppy petting pen.   The rain date for this event is Sunday, October 9.
