BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6 @ 12 NOON
All creatures great and small, whether they are furry, finned, feathered, scaled, stuffed, or photo, are welcome to come with their human companions to receive a blessing on Sunday, October 6 at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Haworth. The blessing takes place at a special animal companion-dedicated service in the church at 12 Noon. Refreshments, including coffee, tea & munchies for the people and treats for the pets, will be offered at 11:30 A.M. and following the Noon service.
St. Luke’s will also accept donations of pet supplies that day to benefit Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. (RBARI), the leading no-kill animal shelter in Northern New Jersey. Learn more at https://rbari.org
For the safety of all the animals, it is recommended that those pets that might be skittery or nervous in new surroundings come leashed or in some type of carrier.
The Blessing of the Animals service, one of the most popular liturgies of the year, offers special prayers in honor of St. Francis of Assisi and celebrates the beauty of the natural world, especially the gifts offered to us by our animal companions.

The Episcopal Church's Position on Abortion and Women's Reproductive Health
The Episcopal Church teaches that “all human life is sacred” and that there is a “tragic dimension” to all abortions. At the same time, the church stands with women in defending reproductive freedom, declaring an “unequivocal opposition” to federal and state laws that would “abridge or deny” any woman’s ability to make informed decisions about reproductive health.
This is from Presiding Bishop Michael Curry: “The Episcopal Church has tried carefully to be responsive both to the moral value of women having the right to determine their healthcare choices as well as the moral value of all life. [The Supreme Court's] decision institutionalizes inequality because women with access to resources will be able to exercise their moral judgment in ways that women without the same resources
will not.”
