Blessing of the animals and Preschool service – Sunday 22nd October 9.30am

They say ‘never work with children or animals’, but at St Luke’s we’re breaking all the rules and celebrating our Preschool and Blessing our Animals on the same day! On Sunday the 22nd of October  at 9.30 am, there’s bound to be fun for all ages as we connect with children’s spirituality and bless the animals who bless our lives. Preschool families are particularly invited to join us this day, as all the groups are learning songs to share with the congregation, and it is an opportunity for the children to see inside the Church building and find out some of what happens there. This year we’re glad to welcome Michele Phillips from the South Oakleigh Wildlife Service to speak to the children about caring for local wildlife. Members of the community who would like to share in this celebration are welcome, and everyone is encouraged to bring an animal (or a photo if bringing your animal isn’t practical).
