All are welcome to bring their furry (and feathered and slimy) friends to the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Orange on Sunday, Oct. 7 for a blessing of the animals. A blessing and Holy Eucharist with animals leashed or in carriers will take place at 4:30 p.m., followed by refreshments and fellowship in the Parish Hall following the service. Stuffed animals and photographs of pets, living and deceased will also be blessed.
