You are invited to bring your pet to church this Sunday, October 19th, for an all-age service of thanksgiving for the companionship of animals – and if you don’t have a live animal, bring a toy one. A few rules: Please keep your wonderful creature(s) under control.  Birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. to be kept in cages, out of the way of cats, and cats and rabbits to be kept in cages, out of the way of dogs, and dogs to be kept on a leash at all times.  We don’t want any unplanned and tragic eating episodes. Pooper scooper rules apply too.  All sorts of animals are welcome.
 Adele Trapnell will speak about her work as a puppy walker and there will be a retiring collection for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind.
