Pet Blessing - Sept 25

Pet blessings have a long tradition within Christianity and recognize God’s care for all creation and the importance of pets as companions. You are invited to join us on the front lawn, Sunday, September 25, 2022 at 2:00PM, for a short service and pet blessing with treats and a photo op to follow. Pets big and small are welcome (along with their humans, of course)! This event is free and open to the public...all are welcome and invited! 

We are also collecting items for the Iowa City Animal Care and Adoption Center. Check out the list below for some of their most needed items and consider bringing a donation to support this local organization:

 Please note:  We ask that pets be kept on leash during the event (or in a carrier/cage...whichever set up is appropriate so that you can maintain control and safety of your pets). Small animals like rabbits, hamsters, lizards etc. are usually best left in their cages for protection. If you have a less social pet, consider bring a photo of them for blessing instead. We ask that all humans be responsible for their pets, including respecting others space and cleaning up after your pet. The service will not be long, but you may wish to bring a lawn chair if you'd like to sit. The event may need to be cancelled or rescheduled if it rains.
