In celebration of all of God’s creatures and their presence in our lives, Derry Church offers its 14th annual worship service that includes a blessing of animals. Animals on leashes, in a kennel, or otherwise controlled are invited to attend along with their owners. The worship service will include praise songs and hymns in addition to a hands-on blessing of animals and the people with whom they live. Dress is casual.
