Pet blessing and memorial service

St. Paul United Church of Christ, located at the corner of Union and Mill streets, will host a pet blessing on Saturday, Sept. 17, during the flea market from 9 to 10 a.m. Pets of all kinds are welcome and must be leashed or in a carrier. Each pet will receive a special tag to wear.

During worship the following day at 10:15 a.m. there will be a time of memorial and anyone who has lost a pet will be invited to come forward and light a candle in their memory. All are welcome to participate.
