Compassion for All Beings

With gratitude for the lessons we learn from the creatures we share this planet with, and in honor of St. Francis Day, we bless the animals who bless our lives. Rev. Eileen leads this worship with Annette Wallace as Worship Associate. Ally Hunter leads us in song, and Gregory Shifrin, offers his musical talents on piano. You are invited to bring in your well-behaved and leashed pets to be blessed or send a photo to Rev. Eileen for those who don’t worship well with others.

Today’s offering will be shared with Run On Climate Education Fund, whose mission is to accelerate cutting-edge climate policy at the local level in communities across the country, including right here in Evanston, which is one of Run On Climate’s focal cities for 2025.
