Sunday, October 27th: “Guardians of the Wild” with Carolina Waterfowl Rescue
This Sunday, Wedgewood will celebrate one of our most joyful services of the year: Blessing of the Animals.
At Wedgewood, we believe our circle of compassion extends beyond humanity. We are part of the beautiful web of creation, connected to the animals who share our homes, the wildlife around us and the earth that sustains us all.
Together, we will celebrate our beloved pets and the wild creatures who share our world. We will also remember the animals we have lost, whose love remains part of the stories we carry with us.
If you would like us to remember a pet or include a photo of your animal during the service, please email your photos to wedgewood.church@yahoo.com by Friday so we can include them in the slides.
We are also thrilled to welcome back Carolina Waterfowl Rescue, one of Wedgewood’s partner organizations. CWR is a wildlife rescue and animal sanctuary specializing in avian, reptile and farm animal species. Their work includes emergency medical care, rehabilitation and sanctuary, with services provided to the public free of charge.
They will share more about their work and invite us to consider how we can be better stewards of the wild creatures with whom we share this fragile and beautiful planet.
We hope you’ll join us for this special celebration of compassion, connection and all of creation.
