We bring our pets for our annual pet parade and animal blessing. We explore how our animal companions so often bless us by helping us find our center.
Chalice Lighting
This is the flame we hold in our hearts as we strive for justice for everyone. This is the light we shine upon systems of oppression until they are no more. This is the warmth that we share with one another as our struggle becomes our salvation.
Call to Worship
For all that dwells below the skies,
let songs of hope and faith arise.
Let peace, goodwill on Earth be sung,
or bark or howl by every tongue.– Rev Laura Kim Joyner
Affirming Our Mission
Together we nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice to build the Beloved Community.
Meditation Reading
Ask the animals and they will teach you. Or the birds in the sky and they will tell you. Or speak to the Earth and it will teach you. Or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know the breath of the devine has done this. In whose care is the life of every creature and the breath of all human kind.
– Job 12, 7-10
