On Sunday, Oct. 3 at 11:30am, Mt. Tamalpais United Methodist Church hosts its annual Blessing of the Animals, an event in the tradition of St. Francis of Assisi, the saint of animals and the environment.
“All of God’s creatures have earned our blessing and praise,” says new Pastor Luke Ham. “This is one of the great traditions of Christianity. Bring your pets of all kinds (properly restrained or contained, of course) for a loving blessing.”
