the community to participate in a Blessing<br />
of the Animals ceremony at 3 p.m. Oct. 9 in<br />
the church parking lot. <strong>October</strong> is the traditional<br />
month for Christian churches worldwide<br />
to bless animals based on Bible<br />
scriptures that include Genesis 1: 20-25 and<br />
Matthew 6: 26. All pets, which should be<br />
leashed or in a carrier, are welcome for the<br />
brief service and individual blessing.<br />
Those who choose to bless pets at home,<br />
may use this prayer:<br />
“Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all<br />
living creatures. You called forth fish in the<br />
sea, birds in the air and animals on the<br />
land. You inspired Saint Francis to call all<br />
of them his brothers and sisters. We ask you<br />
to bless this pet. By the power of your love,<br />
enable it to live according to your plan. May<br />
we always praise you for all your beauty in<br />
creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in<br />
all your creatures! Amen.”<br />
