Summer Celebration to Bless the Animals
11:00 AM Woodland Park
Description:
Flathead Valley Multi-Faith organization of ten congregations are once again joining together for another unique event—a Summer Animal Blessing Celebration on Saturday, July 11 from 11 am to 1 pm in Woodland Park in Kalispell at the Eastside Pavilion.
“Clergy members invite you to gather together with them to bless the pets and animals that are so much a part of our life here in the Flathead Valley,” said Pastor Darryl Kistler of the Flathead Valley United Church of Christ in Kalispell. “We are inviting everyone to bring their pets, join us in prayer, tell stories about our animals, sing and play together. We invite all faith groups to join us for this day of fun and prayer.
“We will also offer blessings for animals that have passed on during the past year. Their names will be read and blessed with a special prayer.”
Tom Harris, a guitarist and Folk Song Troubadour, will lead us in song and lunch will be available through local vendors in the part.
