Blessing of the Animals
One of our most popular services, the evening is filled with music, singing (howling and meowing, too!) and a Grand Marche led by our S.T.A.R. Music Makers. Everyone receives an annual Blessing Card as we celebrate all of God’s creation – especially God’s creatures!

Don’t have an Animal Friend? Please come along as there are sweet treats to savor, joyfulness abounds, and a smile is guaranteed!
Our furry-footed and feathered friends are the STARS of this service, so …
PLEASE bring any and all of our Animal Friends – dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, gerbils, horses, cows, goats, turtles etc. or a favorite stuffed Animal Friend or a photo of an Animal Friend who may no longer be with us or is afraid to ‘go for a ride in the car!’
PLEASE keep our Animal Friends contained and restrained – on leashes, in your arms, cages, crates or trailers.
PLEASE don’t forget to bring along a donation of canned cat & kitten food; dry kitten food & kitten replacement milk; clumping & non-clumping litter; paper towels, Windex; Clorox; laundry detergent.
In addition to these donations for God’s creatures in need, a portion of the offering collected is designated for the Spartanburg Humane Society and Animal Shelter – honoring all of God’s creatures for gathering with us!
