Second Reformed Church in Pella is holding the 3rd annual blessing of the animals this morning in Pella.

Pastor Steve Mathonnett-Vander Well says every pet that attends the 9:30 a.m. event will receive a blessing. He says it’s also a way for community members to connect and enjoy an autumn morning. Pet owners who wish to bring their animals to Second Reformed Church are reminded to do so in a responsible manner.
