:bigthumbsup:10/27/2007 “Blessing of the Animals” Day

Christians everywhere celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi each October by blessing their pets in the spirit of this patron saint of animals and ecology.
On October 27th, bring your beloved pets to Hope Lutheran Church in The Villages on CR 466 from 10-11:30am and receive a blessing and treats for dogs and people too!
Pastor Barry Hunteman will conduct the 10am service. Give prayers to those animals who continue to suffer from cruelty & neglect in our county and throughout the world.
This is an outreach ministry event with donations from local pet stores, including
The Grateful Dog. Donations to the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Inc. will be accepted with heartfelt appreciation in order for them to continue their volunteer work.
Meet the wonderful adoptable pets from the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Inc., get a caricature pet portrait or pamper your dog with a canine massage!
Scarves and photos for our furry friends will be donated by Hope Lutheran Church, 250 Avenida Los Angelos, The Villages, FL 32162. Call the church at 352-750-2321 for more info or email the Humane Society/SPCA of Sumter County, Inc. at humane@sum.net or call 352-793-9117.
