On Sunday, October 7, Holy Cross Lutheran Church located on Glasgow Terrace and Route 202, hosted its "first-time ever" Blessing of the Animals.  About 25 dogs, cats and snakes came with their owners to be blessed by Pastor Dennis Rockett.  The service lasted about half-an-hour with everyone enjoying the friendship of each others pets.  Special treats were available for everyone and the service concluded with singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands".
