Blessing of Animals to Be Held at The Reformed Church of Bronxville Sunday, October 8 |

By Staff, The Reformed Church of Bronxville
Oct. 4, 2017: The Reformed Church of Bronxville will be holding its annual Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 8, from noon to 1:00 pm in the grassy cloister area on Pondfield Road.
The Blessing of The Animals gives us an opportunity to acknowledge the life and contributions of St. Francis of Assisi--his service to the poor, his tender care of all creation, and his respect for nature.
This gathering will also allow us to honor and celebrate all of God's creatures and the special relationship we have with them.
We encourage you to bring your special animal companion and have them blessed by our clergy.
We ask, for everyone's safety, that dogs be on leashes and cats in carriers.
If your companion does not travel well or is deceased, you can bring his or her photo to be blessed.

Christ Church to Celebrate Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 1 |

By Katie Gojkovich, Executive Director, Christ Church Bronxville
Sep. 27, 2017: Christ Church celebrates the 11th anniversary of its Blessing of the Animals this year on Sunday, October 1, at 5:00 pm in the church.
This beloved Christ Church tradition is held each year on the Sunday closest to the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis was renowned for his connection to nature, even preaching to the animals he encountered.
The church will be filled with the jubilant and raucous sounds of our special guests greeting each other and joining in the songs and prayers. The lively service culminates with the procession of the animals up to the front of the church to receive an individual blessing from the clergy.
Fr. Michael Bird, rector of Christ Church, said, "We are thrilled to open our doors to our animal friends and their companions for the tenth year. I can guarantee that we will make a joyful and unique noise to the Lord at this service. All of God's creatures, great and small, are welcome!"

Fourteen Receive Rite of Confirmation at Village Lutheran Church |

By Staff at Village Lutheran Church
Jul. 5, 2017: Village Lutheran Church in Bronxville recently celebrated The Rite of Confirmation for children in their congregation.
After attending two years of instruction on the Holy Bible and the Lutheran Small Catechism, led by the minister of children, youth, and families, Kate Marino, and the pastors of the church, the eighth-grade students affirmed their faith at the special service.
According to Pastor Hartwell, the senior pastor, "Confirmation is important, as the students learn the key parts of their faith and also put faith into action through community service and reflection on the worship life of the congregation."
The Confirmation program is called the "Lifer" program because it seeks to create a lifelong commitment to faith and service. The program also offers opportunities for fellowship and a yearly winter retreat each January at Koinonia Camp at Highland Lake, NY.
Receiving their Confirmation (with blessing, special Bible Promise, and anointing with holy oil) at the service were 14 young people, including students from Bronxville, Mount Vernon, Eastchester, Tuckahoe, Pelham, Scarsdale, and the Bronx.
List of Confirmands: Confirmed in Christ: Katherine Albano, Lily Bennett, Lydia Burkee, Alexa Forliano, Justin Gerber, Amy Guerrero, Lorelei Heath, Brendan Ortiz, Nicholas Pinto, Marco Renzo, Abigail Rockhill, Jordan Romano, Julianna Romano, and Lyndsie Schultz.
God Bless our Confirmands. Special thanks to Linda Wong and the Confirmation year 1 parents who helped coordinate the reception following the service.
