If your curiosity is peaked...Logistics for Sunday
|
What this morning will look like?We will begin worship at 9:30 am. The Narthex will be closed off for the animals to get ready, so you will need to come in the side doors of the Sanctuary or through the Commons. There will be ushers outside to direct you.
We want to be clear, this is not a blessing of the animals (pets) service. Please do not bring Fido or Felix as we want to create safe boundaries with the zoo animals.
For some of you (like myself) being around snakes is a challenge. (It is hard to unwire all those warning signals learned as a child that all snakes were dangerous.) We invite you to sit closer to the outside aisles and look away when they are walked down the center aisle.
We are inviting the children to stay in worship following the Word to the Children so they too can enjoy the procession and blessing. If any of the children want to bring their own "stuffed" wild animals, we would love having them be a part of our worship service.
There will be a special offering received that will create a scholarship fund supporting the development of North Park Hill (schools and Boys and Girls club) and the Denver Zoo.
Following worship, the Denver Zoo will leave a few of the animals behind for individuals to interact with up close and personal on the patio.
