This church is going to the dogs...

...or is it the other way around? Just around St. Francis's day, National Geographic brings us a trend story on churches reaching out to people's pets. I haven't seen any dogs in our church, though I've thought about bringing Sheba. I've heard there's a dog who often attends our sister congregation on the other side of the river, and there's a geriatric poodle who often shows up during coffeetime.

A special pet blessing service, though... I think Sheba would enjoy that.
