1 October 2017 All-Ages Worship Service — Blessing of the Animals

Please join us on Sunday (1 October 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Keeping Faith with Animals” — our annual “Blessing of the Animals” worship service.

Please join us for this service where we celebrate our shared home in the interdependent web with our furry, finned, four-legged, flying, crawling, hopping or slithering friends.

You are invited to bring your pets into the sanctuary to share this service with us.

Please do confine your pets on a leash or in a carrier as the most seemingly docile animals can react differently in strange surroundings.

If your pet will do better staying home and being blessed from afar, feel free to bring a stuffed animal or photograph (beloved stuffed animals absolutely count in their own right).

The service also includes a memorial portion in which we call the names of pets loved and lost.

27 August 2017 Water Communion Worship Service and End-of-Summer Swim Party

Please join us on Sunday (27 August 2017) at 11:00 AM for “What Sort of Body of Water is This?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This is our annual celebration of coming back together in community. We are all encouraged to bring a small container of water — whether brought from an ocean far away or from your own kitchen sink — to add to the common bowl as we share our stories of summer.

This need not be a travelogue — some of the greatest journeys happen in our own backyards or simply in our own hearts.

Immediately after this worship service, please join us for our end-of-summer swim party and picnic at the home of Kathy Osuch and Mike Roberts (149 Atlantic Avenue, Shreveport LA).
