Celebrate Our Furry Friends – Outdoor Blessing of the Animals!

We’re so excited to invite you to a special day of blessings, love, and community spirit! On Sunday, October 6th, join us for an outdoor service dedicated to blessing the animals that bring so much joy into our lives. Whether you bring your pet in person or just a photo, we’re here to offer a blessing. Just make sure all pets are friendly, on a leash, or crated for safety. 🐾

This day isn’t just about blessings – it’s about action! We’ll have wonderful non-profits sharing their work to control the pet population in Bakersfield and how you can get involved. They’ll have items for sale to fund their vital efforts and will be accepting donations as well. 💕

We’re also collecting cat and dog food donations for the ‘Bakersfield Pet Food Pantry’ to help those in our community who need a hand feeding their pets. The event runs from 9 AM to 12 noon, with the blessing service starting at 10 AM. Enjoy live music, tasty treats from food trucks, and vendors offering pet products! 🎶🍴

This heartwarming event is brought to you by First Congregational Church UCC of Bakersfield and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kern. Let’s come together to support our pets and the people who care for them. We can’t wait to see you there! 🐾❤️
