Gratitude and updates from Betty

Bring your animals to church this Sunday

This Sunday, October 4, we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis.  We have traditionally held outdoor worship with pets in our laps or at our feet on this day.  Once, due to bad weather, we had the pets inside the church on the pews or under the pews depending on their level of comfort!  Our little furry (or feathered) friends are such a part of our lives and this is a meaningful service where each Read more…
