Join us in the St. Francis Outdoor Chapel or inside the sanctuary if it's raining for our annual Blessing of the Animals service. Please bring your pets to this special service dedicated to the beloved animals in our families. A rep. from Friends of Fairfax County Animal Shelter will be present at the service. The undesignated offering will be donated to their organization. Girl Scouts troop #50137 will be collecting dog & cat food for a local animal shelter as they work toward their Bronze Award. A collection box will be available on Sunday, October 4 and 11.
