From Gretchen Gunderson, St. John’s, South Bend, WA
At St. John’s we have begun having a blessing of the animals the first Sunday in October. We are a very (!) small congregation with few animals. I suggested to a local Baptist pastor the other day that we might have an ecumenical celebration in a park (hosted by St. John, pun slightly intended)l; suggestion well received. He thought a picnic might be a good addition, tho October isn’t always picnic weather. Maybe a hot-dog roast, though. . . .
If it is rainy, we could hold it at our church and grill hot dogs on the deck.
Just an idea in the works. We’ll see how it pans out.
