Good Grief
September 27, 9:30 a.m.
Good Grief is a support group for anyone who is having difficulty with a loss. It may be a pet, a divorce, or the death of a loved one... whatever it is you are suffering, feel free to bring yourself and share, if you wish, your hurt with a group willing to listen. Or listen to the stories of others. It all can help. People of any - or no - denomination are welcome. In fact, all are welcome.
Blessing of the Animals
October 4, 2:00 p.m.
Calvary’s Blessing of the Animals, in the Episcopal tradition, is an “All are welcome” event. Please invite your friends and neighbors, and please bring all your creatures, great and small, but PLEASE keep safety in mind! All animals should be appropriately leashed, crated, carried, or contained, and under responsible supervision at all times. If your pet is no longer with us or cannot mingle comfortably with other pets, please bring a photograph or drawing of your pet. Stuffed animals and toy pets also are welcome to receive a blessing.
A reception with light refreshments for all species will be offered in the Lobby Link between the courtyard and the parking lot, and a collection of pet food items for the Pet Food Pantry at St. Martin-in-the-Fields on Grand Island will be taken.
