On October 6, please bring your well-behaved furry, feathered, or reptile friends to this service for our annual Blessing of the Animals. Let us bless the love and connection we feel between ourselves and those we call our furry family members, our reptilian relations, our persnickety yet patient pets. If your pet would not enjoy the service, a photo may also be sent to productionteam@uusalem.org with the subject title, “Pets”. Include your name and name of animal, with an optional one sentence comment. Deadline for photos is October 2. We look forward to meeting your “better half” or at least potentially your “furry half.”
