Our Messy Church recently celebrated the theme of “Pets and Blessings.” We discovered the importance of being good stewards of creation by sharing the stories of our rescue dogs that were in attendance. We also went on a scavenger hunt to learn about animals nearing extinction and their need for protection in the world. And, of course, we had the blessing of the animals and stuffed animals too!
