BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS AND FUNDRAISER SUNDAY, OCTOBER 2ND AT ST. MICHAEL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN WELLINGTON
September 6, 2011 (Wellington, FL) – St. Michael Lutheran Church in Wellington will be holding their Third Annual “PAWS for a Blessing”, on Sunday, October 2nd with service beginning at 2 pm. Come early to have your photo taken with your pet. The service will be held indoors in the comfort of air conditioning. This event for the third year is being sponsored by The South Florida Associates and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Everyone is welcome to attend with or without a pet. Pets, however, must be leashed or confined in a carrier. “PAWS for a Blessing” is also a fundraiser for “Passion for Paws, Inc.”, a charity pet food pantry, located in West Palm Beach, who believes that keeping pets in their forever homes saves lives. Everyone attending is asked to bring canned pet food to help fill “Passion for Paws” pantry. Last year over 1100 cans of food were donated to Peggy Adams Animals Rescue League. If you cannot attend but would like to donate, your donation can be dropped off at the church, 1925 Birkdale Drive, Wellington, Monday through Friday between 11 am and 3 pm .
Last year blessed at St. Michael were several dogs of all breeds, several cats, one rat, one turtle, one rabbit, one hedgehog, and 2 birds.
St. Michael is located on the corner of Forest Hill Boulevard and Birkdale Drive in Wellington just west of the Wellington Green Mall and the Wellington entrance walls. For more information call Donna Tagg at 561-371-3201 or the church at 561-793-4999.
