Reminder: Harvest On The Hill Sunday with Blessing of the Animals

From email:

For this year’s Harvest on the Hill, we are bringing back the Blessing of the Animals Booth! Bring your beloved pets for a special blessing and treats anytime between 3:30 to 4:30 pm at the Vigil table (ask any of the volunteers to point you in the right direction).

Take care,
Abbott

WEATHER UPDATE: Join us at Harvest on the Hill rain or shine! The leadership team is making arrangements to make us comfortable in the event of inclement weather with extra tents and umbrellas. Please dress warmly and bring an umbrella for intermittent showers should they blow through. When’s the last time you played in the rain? It’s fun! :-) Of course, we are still counting on a beautiful fall day!
