The First Methodist Church of Pierre is partnering with Paws to have a special event. “Prayers for Paws – Blessing of the Pets” will take place at 3:00pm on Saturday September 24th at Steamboat Park in Pierre.

We recognize that pets hold a very special place in our lives and families. They are God’s gift that brings us joy and happiness and offer companionship and love.

We ask that for safety and comfort of all God’s creatures that you pets – cat, dog, hamster, snake, bird, lizard, fish, horse, pig, goat, etc. be leashed, kenneled, or contained in some manner such as an animal trailer, pet carrier, cage, aquarium, etc. If your pet is unable to travel, feel free to bring an item (toy, collar, etc.) or picture of your pet for a blessing.

We’ll have treats for both our pets and humans, along with a gift to remember the day.
