Many people bring their pets to the church to be blessed on St. Francis’ feast day. You can pray for and bless your pets and animals at home too. A verbal blessing can be offered in your backyard, garden or anywhere inside your home:

The following Pet Blessing can be used:

Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures.

You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air, and animals on the land.

You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters.

We ask you to bless this pet.

By the power of your love, enable it to live according to your plan.

May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation.

Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures!

Amen.

At Prairie Island. Gather at Messiah on Saturday morning at 8AM for coffee and breakfast, conclude at 5:30PM. Lunch will be served. We will use the eucharistic liturgy as a frame for understanding ministries of justice and healing.

As MPR’s Euan Kerr has said, “Dean plays everything.”

“I view the so-called different styles of music as one big family of sound, those little bins in the record store, the categories, they don’t do justice to the similarities between so-called different styles. … I don’t see them as separate, at war, superior, inferior, but as part of a continuum of us humans putting vibrations into the air, sharing that kind of healing energy, joy, safe and healthy expression of every emotion available.”

Join the Episcopal Church Women on February 3 for a soup supper and an evening of playing Bunco!

Don't know what Bunco is? Don't know how to play? Come and find out how to play this game that's easy to learn and fun for all ages. Let someone else cook and have a great time with us!
