Below you will find the Blessing of the Animals Service I did last year. It was the first time this church had ever done something like this, and it was a wonderful experience. Anyone who wants is welcome to use any part of it...
I am doing the service next Sunday this year (oct.12) and am using the same liturgy etc.---except possibly not using the "All Things Bright and Beautiful" hymn...it was a very difficult hymn to sing for a bunch of folks outside with no musical accompaniment. If anyone has any suggestions of an easier to sing hymn, please let me know.
For the Benediction, I used an adaptation of the Prayer of St. Francis.
