Animals and religion have intrigued the faithful for hundreds and hundreds of years. It seems everyone has an opinion about what animals ‘mean’ and can quote their favorite verse from their holy book to prove their point. Religion seemed to be more ‘about’ animals rather than ‘for’ them. That’s changing for a group of pet lovers in Omaha!
The Underwood Hills Presbyterian Church is now hosting Thursday masses that are opened up to pets and the people that love them. They encourage their whole flock to show up and join in on the serious message and maybe some fun.
This new service is truly a reason to celebrate. To read more about this incredible story – click here for the USA Today article.
