CELEBRATION OF ANIMALS SERVICE

We are delighted to say that this year we will again be holding our special service of thanksgiving for the pleasure and companionship that our pets give to us. The service will be on Sunday 13th December at our usual venue, St. Oswald’s Church in Ashbourne, starting at 2 p.m. We really hope you will come along (dogs are of course welcome in church as well as other small pets in secure baskets) as the service will have readings about cats and dogs and it is an ideal time to not only celebrate our current pets but to remember those we have loved over the years and who are no longer with us.
