Rain Location: Chidley Hall

Please join us on the Town Common where we will swing, celebrate and give thanks for all of God's creatures, blessing our animal companions. We welcome 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. And 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
