Pet Blessing

This Sunday, October 23, 5:30 p.m.
Pet Blessing in Labyrinth Circle 
by Rev. Sondra

Bring your pets - gently restrained - to be blessed.

Pets are a part of the family. We want to bless them, pray for them, and celebrate with them.

  
group of pets 

I give thanks for the creation all of the peoples;

Two legged, four legged, winged and finned.
May I learn the great lessons from each of these...
From the Cat, let me learn healing, clarity, and keen vision.
From the Bird, let me learn how to let my spirit soar.
From the Fish, let me learn tenacity and to overcome obstacles.
From the Horse, let me learn strength and freedom.
And from the Dog, let me learn faithfulness, courage,
and unconditional love.
May I walk, swim and fly in harmony and balance with all of these.  

- from a Native American Prayer

SOP 2

 

SOME OTHER PLACE. . .  Founded in 1968 by the local religious community  

to meet the unmet emergency needs of the local poor and "hurting" residents  

of the Beaumont community. When no one could help they were told they had  

to go to some other place . . .  thus, the name Some Other Place, a place when  all else fails. 

What we are . . .    An ecumenical mission in urban ministry . . . a place where  people of all faiths come together to provide services of all types to people who find themselves in emergency situations.

Who are we . . .  S.O.P. is funded solely by donations from concerned people of  local religious congregations, business and civic groups and individuals.  We are staffed by hundreds of volunteers, and supported by a limited staff . . . people who are "putting there faith to work."
