We miss you, Spencer 

A few weeks ago, during our Blessing of the Animals, one of the young members of our congregation in Groveville brought a little ferret named Spencer. Along with the other animals gathered that afternoon, Spencer received a blessing as we gave thanks to God for the wonderful creatures who share our lives.

Last Saturday, during our Craft Fair, Spencer went missing.

Reconciling the creation of God

Every year around the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, many churches gather for one of the most joyful, and probably least predictable, traditions of the year: the Blessing of the Animals. Usually, the dogs arrive pulling on their leashes, the cats arrive clearly wishing they were somewhere else, the cows may very well finish whatever grass is left beside the parking lot, and I am sure the raccoons are already making plans for coffee table!
