Blessing of the Animals

St. Christopher's Sunday worship is centered on Christ through the proclamation of Holy Scripture and the administration of Holy Communion.

On October 1 we will have a Blessing of the Animals in conjunction with our worship on the Lord's Day at Barnes Preserve (Romich Pavilion) at 3396 Sylvan Rd. in Wooster. 

Come and bring with you your dogs, cats, or any other animals you would like to receive a blessing from the church.  Please have your pets or animals on a leash or crate.

And please bring a donation of dry dog or cat food, treats, litter, bleach, or laundry detergent for local shelters.  Dog donations will go to the Wayne County Dog Shelter, and Cat donations will go to the Wayne County Humane Society.

In the season of Trinitytide (between Pentecost and Advent), we grow in faith and discipleship and remember that the one true God is encountered and experienced in a trinitarian way because God is Trinity.  We have been created by God the Father, redeemed, restored, and reconciled to the Father by the Son, Jesus, and sustained by the Holy Spirit, who dwells in the hearts of those who welcome the life of God into their lives.  For in Christ, the Church, "being constructed, grows into a holy temple in the Lord (Son), in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God (Father) by the Spirit (Holy Spirit)" (Ephesians 2.21-22).
