All creatures, great and small, are invited to a community-wide Blessing of the Animals scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct 5 at First United Methodist Church in Blytheville. Everyone is welcome to bring their pets (either crated or leashed) to the west lawn of the church, located at Eighth and Main streets. Dr. Robin Moore of First United Methodist Church, the Rev. Scott Trotter of St. Stephens Episcopal Church and the Rev. Mike Wey of First Presbyterian Church will bless each animal during the 15-minute service. A special offering and/or donations of cleaning supplies, dog and cat treats and animal toys will be collected for the Blytheville Humane Society, who will bring animals for adoption. Also that weekend, on Saturday, Oct 4, the Humane Society will hold its annual spaghetti supper fundraiser.
