"Blessing of the Animals"

Clint Tawes

We invite you and your furry, feathered, scaly, or shelled friends to join us for a special Blessing of the Animals service! This cherished tradition is a time to honor the beloved animals that bring joy, companionship, and unconditional love to our lives.

​

For everyone's safety and comfort, we ask that all pets attending in person be up-to-date on their vaccines, on a leash or in an appropriate enclosure (such as a cage, aquarium, or carrier), and house-trained. We also encourage you to bring only healthy pets who will enjoy being in the service. If your pet cannot meet these criteria, we welcome you to bring a photo of your pet to be blessed in spirit. We look forward to celebrating the special bond between humans and animals with you!"

Dr. Michael Braz

Throughout a life of musical performance, composition, teaching, and travel, Dr. Braz always viewed communication as a common element in “building bridges”—and, on occasion, repairing them. He'd like to briefly explore these, with a bit of assistance from the congregation.
