Hello Church,
I've never blessed animals before. I'll have to look in the instruction book to see what it says about it. Hopefully it isn't too complicated.
This Saturday (12-3) is a day for us and the Humane Society to show off animals. I like the possibilities of this event. It could be a day that begins a longer-term partnership.... something Emmanuel is striving for in many different ways.
But the truth is that Saturday isn't really about the animals, though I am sure they will have their own opinions on the event. The occasional happy dog or grumpy cat who wants to know what all the hub-bub is about. It is really about the owners and would-be owners. We want the community to know that we care.... not just about animals, but about those would-be care-takers who enjoy the company of a pet or pets.
So I am looking forward to meeting people too... to make connections and let them know that Emmanuel is a place for them. That if they are looking for a community of people that has something in common with them (like animals), then we can be that place.
Let's go make establish partnerships, make connections and possibly a friend or two.
God is Good,
Pastor Joe
