The First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem will hold the fourth annual “Blessing of the Animals” at 3 p.m. October 3 on the church’s front lawn, 2344 Center St. The public is invited. Physical distancing and masks are required for the humans.

Each pet will receive a personalized blessing. Donations of pet items such as food, toys and supplies are accepted. The items will be shared with Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley ‘Ani-meals’ program.

In case of bad weather, a ‘drive through’ blessing option will be offered on the same time and date.
