St. James' Welcomes Service
Animals to Animal Blessing
On Sunday, April 27, at 4 p.m., St. James' Episcopal Church in Boardman will hold its annual Blessing of Animals on the church's front lawn. Rogation Sunday--the fifth Sunday after Easter each year--is a traditional time to give thanks for God's creation. In a time more focused on rural life, Rogation Sunday was a day to bless the fields as the year's crops were being planted and to bless the farm animals on whom the community's life depended. St. James' Church retains aspects of this old custom by blessing the animals whose presence enriches our lives.
This year several service animals will be featured including Alle, a certified therapy dog and Yuma from the Boardman Police Department's canine unit. Following the short liturgy, participants will have an opportunity to learn about the special jobs these animals have been trained to do.
All animals are welcome. For the safey of all, dogs must be on leashes, cats in carriers, etc. Photos of animals who are unable to travel are also welcome. Special prayers will be offered for pets who have died. Photos of these beloved pets are also welcome.
Treats for people and animals will be served after the blessing. If you don't have an animal but love these special creatures, please come and join the fun.
St. James' Church is located at 7640 Glenwood Avenue in Boardman. For more information, contact the church office at 330/758-2727 or e-mail office@stjamesboardman.com.
