This Sunday 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.

With Sunday’s scriptures focusing on reconciliation (Joseph, the Canaanite woman), he invites us to consider how reconciliation happens at ground level, guided by the Spirit, and asks: What’s your Roman Empire?
