Pet Blessing Service Aug. 19 at the Congregational Church on Mercer Island

The honors and affirms the importance of all animals. The bond between man and animals, created by God, is like no other relationship. As an expression of the bond we have with all animals, we celebrate this bond with an Annual Blessings of Animals Event during our Sunday Service.

This year, the event will be on Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.

All are invited to bring their pets to this service to be blessed by our pastor, the Rev. Mark Travis. All animals of significance to you are welcome. 

You can bring live pets, photos of pets, even stuffed "animals." A blind turtle received a blessing last year, among the many beloved cats and dogs. We have yet to see a snake or a fish.

A note about live pets, if you think your pet may cause harm to someone (or someone may cause harm to it), please either use a leash or a carrier.

Please join us in this joyful and fun event. We look forward to seeing you with your animal pal.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
