The Church of the Good Shepherd had a team led by Rector Rev. Dorrie Pratt visit the Young-Williams Animal Center on Saturday, September 20. The goal was to bless all the 300+ animals with the simple prayer — “May you find your forever home and be blessed.”

As The Church of the Good Shepherd does annually, they will have a Blessing of the Animals service on Saturday, October 4, at 9 a.m., on their front lawn, 5409 Jacksboro Pike, Knoxville,  37918 . This will be a short service to accommodate the needs of a range of animals’ attention spans (from furry and scaly to feathery), and they will also serve Pup Cups at the service.
