Next Sunday, October 6, we will celebrate the Feast of St. Francis – the saint who preached to the birds and called a wolf his brother – with the blessing of the animals following the 11 a.m. service. The blessing will be around 12:30, giving those who live nearby a chance to go and get their animals; however, you are also welcome to bring well-behaved pets to church that day. Tell your friends! Pick up some flyers in the narthex to spread the word and share with your neighbors.

Parish News: November 1
In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz reflects on the thin veil between worlds during Halloween, All Saints, and All Souls, when we remember our beloved dead and give thanks for the saints who inspire us. Drawing on 1 John, she reminds us that we are God’s children now, even as what we will become remains unrevealed, and invites us to open our hearts with thanksgiving on this journey together.
