 Blessing of the Animals
October 9, 2004
King of Peace joined together with the people and pets
from around Camden County for The Blessing of the Animals on October
9 at the Humane Society of Camden County.
 The service was held at the
Animal Shelter at 950 Grove St. in Kingsland. The Rev. Verdell Griffin of
Wheeler Street Church of God and our own pastor, Frank
blessed dogs and cats. The service, which is traditionally done
near the time of St. Francis' feast on October 4, reminds us of God's love
for all creation. It is a time to pray for God's blessing for the pets who
are so much a part of our lives. King of Peace also took part in
another Blessing of the Animals service the previous
week as part of the Rock Shrimp Festival.
