Our rituals help us to mark time, identify with a community of faith, and clarify what is important. This image is from a ritual called the "Blessing of the Animals," which happens on or near the Feast of St. Francis. That'll be October 4 this year.

Tomorrow, let's talk more about our rituals. We'll also participate in a very important one, the Sacrament of Holy Communion. In the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), that's open to everyone. Why not join us? We worship at 9:00 a.m.
