The animals with whom we choose to share our lives can bless us in ways that are different from, but just as meaningful as, the blessings of our relationships with friends and family. Animals who would be safe and comfortable in a church sanctuary are welcome to come to receive a blessing in person, and you may submit photos of animals less likely to tolerate a busy and unfamiliar environment so that they, too, can receive our gratitude and our blessing. Photos should be sent to diary@concorduu.org by June 10.
