Blessing of the Animals
October 3 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
On Saturday, October 3, from 10 a.m. until 12 noon, The First Congregational Church of Greenwich will host its annual Blessing of the Animals. The community is invited to bring their pet (dog, cat, fish, hamster – you name it) for a blessing with Pastor Patrick Collins and Pastor Cydney Van Dyke on the church’s front lawn and receive a treat bag.
The annual tradition finds it roots in the book of Genesis: “God lovingly created all of the creatures of the earth, He blessed them and declared that they were good.” Pastor Patrick Collins says “We have been offering this blessing for the past several years and it has grown each year. The weather promises to be great, and it’s a chance for the local community to gather together, connect with each other, and bond over the love of their family pets.”
First Congregational Church of Greenwich is located at 108 Sound Beach Avenue in Old Greenwich.
