Peachtree Corners Christian Church Plans Blessing of the Animals
 Norcross, GA - Aug. 9, 2010
Animal lovers and their pets are invited to a Blessing
of the Animals on Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at Peachtree
Corners Christian Church in Norcross, GA. All types of pets (and the
people they belong to) are welcome to this outdoor blessing service.
Pets should be brought on leash or in a suitable
carrier to the gathering on the lawn in front of the church. All pets
are welcome, but if for some reason you cannot bring your pet, bring a
photo instead. The blessing service will include readings, prayers,
music, a blessing for all living pets, as well as those who have passed
on, and an opportunity for the individual blessing of pets. Rev. Kathy
McDowell, pastor, will lead this service, assisted by elders of the
church.
Following the outdoor service, light refreshments for
people and pets will be served. As part of the event, the church will
collect old (but still usable) towels for a service project for
PAWS
Atlanta, the largest no-kill pet adoption center in metro Atlanta.
