Hold a Blessing of the Animals event on the Sunday closest to Oct. 4, which is designated as World Animal Day, when churches throughout the world hold a Blessing of the Animals event. Invite the community to bring their pets and remind them that God loves all creatures, great and small. (Traditionally, Blessing of the Animals events were held primarily in Catholic churches, but many Protestant churches have started holding their own versions to reach out to their “pet-centric” neighbors.)

At auction, the quilts go for hundreds or even thousands of dollars that directly help women and children in need, providing funds for baby and maternity items at the pregnancy resource center.

The Christian life is not a choice between loving and trusting Jesus, and making an effort to avoid temptation and sin. It is not either/or—it is both/and.
