Blessing of the Animals

On this day Grace United Methodist Church remembers St. Francis' love for all creatures. All are invited to join Grace in Piedmont Park for worship and the blessing of our beloved, animal friends. Bring your four-legged, furry (or two-legged, feathered) companions and join in the fun.

Dogs, cats, hamsters, peacocks & horses are welcome. (Oh--and people, too!)

The service will be held just inside the park at the Charles Allen Drive/10th street entrance. Ample seating (and blankets for the lawn) will be available.

Parking is available at Grace: 458 Ponce de Leon Ave NE. (The church parking lot is a 1/2 mile walk to the park--straight up Charles Allen Drive.)

In case of inclement weather, the service will be held in the church sanctuary. If the weather is questionable, check Grace's Facebook page for last minute weather updates!
