DESCRIPTION:Our worship on October 4 will look and sound a little different
  from a typical Sunday at St. John’s. In celebration of St. Francis of A
 ssisi\, we will gather for a special service of Morning Prayer\, shaped by
  the Book of Alternative Services\, and the Blessing of the Animals. This 
 will not be a Eucharist\, and with our visiting animals in mind we hope th
 e service will be somewhat shorter than usual.\nThe morning is being plann
 ed to be especially welcoming and engaging for parents with young children
 \, but it is certainly not only for children and families. Through scriptu
 re\, prayer and music\, there will be something for everyone as we worship
  together\, give thanks for the wonder of creation\, and celebrate the ani
 mals who share our lives.\nYou are warmly invited to bring your pet for a 
 blessing or simply come and join in the celebration. A little barking\, me
 owing or other animal commotion will be understood as part of the worship 
 that morning! For everyone’s safety\, please ensure that pets are approp
 riately leashed or secured in a suitable carrier.
