Celebration and Blessing of the Animals

Time: 4:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM MT / 1:00 PM PT
Please join us for a special continent-wide virtual service celebrating 40 years of UUAM’s work on behalf of animals!
We’ll begin with a historian’s look at UUAM’s earliest years, followed by reflections from four former UUAM Presidents on the wisdom and inspiration they gained while leading our animal advocacy efforts. Our Executive Director will also share thoughts about UUAM’s future.
At the heart of this special gathering is a joyful celebration and blessing of the animals who share our lives, as well as animals throughout the world. We invite you to register and save the date for a Celebration and Blessing of the Animals unlike any other!
