We take time once a year to give thanks and bless our companions in life—cats and dogs, birds and chickens, turtles and fish and so much more! This ceremony also acknowledges that our lives are made fuller and richer by the creatures that inhabit the Earth with us, not just those that live with us. In recognition of those critters special to you, bring them, a picture, or a memorabilia reminder with you to share at a blessing alter at our service at the Grange.

The Executive Director of the UU Animal Ministry, Rev. John Millspaugh, visited us a few years ago. Learn more about Rev. John here. He recommended that we honor the animals and have a dairy and meat free hospitality Sunday Service. Therefore, our Hospitality Team will have no flesh food or other animal products during our coffee time after this service.

This service will be followed by the Fellowship Town Hall at 12 pm. Members are encouraged to attend and bring your questions before the June 21 Annual General Meeting.
