Blessing of the Animals

United Church of Marco Island will hold a “drive-thru Blessing of the Animals” Service on Saturday, November 15 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on the church grounds!  “Typically, the Blessing of the Animals service was held outdoors, and the weather can be unbearable,” commented Ed Brandt, Pastor. “People are busy and to drive thru on the church’s grounds with one’s pet or pets in the car makes it easier with less hassle.” 

Each participant who presents their animal for a blessing will receive a St. Augustine medallion along with a pamphlet on animals in the Bible. Brandt also added, “In the near future, the church will present a four-week Bible Study on Animals in the Bible which is very interesting!” 

United Church of Marco Island worships every Saturday at 5:00 PM and Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM.  The church is located at 320 N. Barfield Dr., Marco Island. More information can be found on the church’s website: www.ucmarc.org.
