Blessing of the Animals - November 2, 2025
DO YOU LOVE YOUR PET? BCUMC is going to have a celebration of our pets and their place in our lives. This will happen at BCUMC, 2490 Prescott Ave SW, Byron Center on November 2nd at 9:30 am. It will include baked pet snacks with recipes, a photo of your pet, a Prayer of Blessing for you and your pet, and stupid pet tricks if any! If you have any questions, call the BCUMC office at 616-878-1618 or email bcumc.secretary@gmail.com. NOTE: All pets must be on a leash and all owners must be in control of their pets.
