The following was submitted by the First Congregational Church in Winchester:

On Sunday, Oct. 20, join congregants from the First Congregational Church in Winchester on the Town Common at 10 a.m., where they will swing, celebrate and give thanks for all of God’s creatures, blessing animal companions.

The church welcomes all pets — furry, scaly, hairy, feathery and even plush! Photos of beloved pet companions are welcome in place of those who can’t be there.

A special seating section will be set aside for those who are more comfortable sitting away from the animals.

To serenade both congregation and pets, FCCW’s own house band will offer jazz music before, during and after the service. They will sing and move and praise all of creation with fun and upbeat music, readings, prayers and blessings. From “Amazing Grace” to “All God’s Critters Got a Place in the Choir,” there will be an opportunity to sing, to listen and to share cherished pet companions.

Rain Location: Chidley Hall.
