For many adults, losing a pet is like losing a child. For many children, losing a pet is their first experience with death and grief. While some may proclaim that losing a child is far greater than losing a pet ~ we proclaim that loss is loss, grief is grief, and love is love.
We invite adult and child participants to bring a photo of their departed pet that will be posted onto cork boards on easels. They will be invited to come forth, if they so desire, and recite the name of their departed pet for all to hear, receive a blessing, light a candle, and return to their seat. Children may remain with their caregivers or go with other children for Sunday school activities that will welcome all faith traditions. The title of the message delivered at the service is: “Are There Pets in Heaven?” An Ice Cream Social follows the service. This event is free of charge. For planning purposes, please call to confirm attendance: 631-475-1235.
