Blessing of the Animals 2026

Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 4, was wonderful! Ivey Garden was full of wagging tails and plenty of stuffed animals as our community gathered for this beloved annual tradition. Each pet received a special blessing, and our youngest friends made sure their favorite stuffed companions were blessed, too.

Thank you to everyone who brought a furry (or fuzzy) friend, and to all the kids who came with their stuffed animals in tow. We had so much fun celebrating the animal companions who bring so much joy to our lives and homes.

Thank you, too, for your generosity, which makes ministry like this possible. We can’t wait to see you and your pets again next year!
