Everyone is welcome inside Saugatuck Congregational Church.
Pets and other animals — not so much.
But this Sunday (October 6, noon to 2 p.m.), every living thing is welcome at the sweeping front lawn, on the Post Road just a dogleg from Myrtle Avenue.
Westport Animal Shelter Advocates joins the church in co-hosting a Blessing of the Animals.
The Great Lawn of Saugatuck Congregational Church is well suited to a Blessing of the Animals.
All are welcome to bring a pet leashed, or safely contained (recommended for pythons). You can also bring a photo, for an individual prayer of blessing (probably even better for that python).
Rev. Alison Buttrick Patton will lead the service. She’ll include all wildlife in her prayers.
Representatives from Wildlife in Crisis will be there too. They’ll answer questions about local wildlife, and discuss their rehabilitative and release efforts.
Also on site: Sitting Pretty Dog Training.
Our pets and wildlife are true blessings.
On Sunday, Rev. Patton is honored to bless them.
PS: Looking for more animal-related events on Sunday? Earth Animal celebrates its new location too: noon to 5 p.m.
