What To Expect?
The approximately 30-minute service will be held at the back of the church in the field adjacent to the labyrinth and sacred gardens. Water and treats will be provided – both for the animals attending and those who brought them.
Accessibility Concerns?
If you have accessibility concerns, a pastor will come to your car. Chairs and benches are also available.
Can’t make it in person?
Email office@millbrookbaptistchurch.org and our pastors will send a virtual word of blessing.
Wall of Blessings
We take seriously our sacred responsibility to care for creation. We also acknowledge the vital role of animals, and particularly companion animals, in creating whole and healthy communities. If you’d like for us to be in prayer for a special animal, consider providing a picture for our wall of blessings. Throughout the year, we’ll use the collage to make us aware of the love and care our extended community offers to the world. Photos may be submitted in person on the day of the animal blessing or submitted via email to office@millbrookbaptistchurch.org.
Note: Photos will NOT be published online. They will only be displayed on an interior wall adjacent to the sanctuary.
Leashes
To ensure the safety of everyone present, all animals must be on a leash or in pet carriers.
