For quite a number of years St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in the Highland Park neighborhood and St. Andrew Lutheran Church in the Oakland have joined together to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Francis with a special service including a blessing of our pets--with clergy and lay leadership from both congregations. We alternate locations, and this year we're gathering at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Center and Morewood, at 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 2. All denominations and species (appropriately restrained) are invited! BruceR http://www.standrewspgh.org http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/
