Furry, feathered, scaled, quilled—or anything in between! All animals and their people are invited to Immanuel Lutheran Church for a Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 4 at 4:00 p.m.

In celebration of St. Francis of Assisi Day, we’ll gather outdoors in the church parking lot to give thanks for the animals who share our lives and offer an individual blessing for each pet. ❤️

🐶 Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small animals—and other beloved creatures—are welcome! Please bring pets safely leashed, crated, or otherwise secured as appropriate.

📅 Sunday, October 4 | 4:00 p.m.
📍 Immanuel Lutheran Church
8310 MacArthur Blvd., Vancouver, WA 98664

🐾 Can’t bring your animal? Feel free to bring a photo, and we’ll gladly offer a blessing for them too.

We’ll also be celebrating the animals we love during worship that morning. If you would like your pet included on our screen, send 1–2 photos per pet by September 28 to office@immanuelvancouver.org

Neighbors, friends, and animals of all kinds are welcome—please share and invite others! 🐾❤️
