Epiphany’s recent Blessing of the Bonds brought people and their pets together for a special time of gratitude, connection, and community. Pastor Muchow and Vicar Mike Copp offered blessings for the meaningful bond shared by humans and their animal companions.

The gathering was inspired by Pamela Tamburello and organized with Connie Gillet, who helped everyone feel welcome, and Gina Fingleman, who helped secure special Epiphany tags and treats for the occasion.

Guests enjoyed treat bags, a water station, and information about upcoming events. It was a joyful reminder of the important place pets hold in our lives and of the ways their faithful love can reflect Christ’s teachings in simple, everyday moments.
