Blessing of the Animals

The Episcopal Church of St. John in the Wilderness will offer a “Blessing of the Animals” on Sunday, October 5, at 4:00 pm in the new Wilderness Chapel located behind the Parish Hall at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock.

Furry and feathered companions are invited to this special annual service to receive a blessing. Cats, dogs, snakes, chickens, horses, birds, goats, in fact all domestic animals, are welcome! As an option, a stuffed animal or pet photo may be presented to receive a blessing. Our outdoor meeting space will create a lively Eucharist for all creatures involved.
