As part of the Aycliffe Festival fortnight, St. Clare’s Church, Newton Aycliffe will be celebrating ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful, all Creatures Great and Small’ with a Pet Blessing Service on Saturday 23rd July beginning at 10.30 am. Members of the community are invited to bring along their pet(s) for a short thanksgiving service for them. This will be followed by a SCRUFTS PET PARADE, hopefully in the sunshine! with prizes for the waggiest tail, most appealing eyes, unusual coat etc… Wilsons Vets will be on hand for any advice needed also.
Refreshments will be available all morning, ice-creams, hotdogs, cakes and drinks. Come and enjoy the floral and fauna display, ugly litter and lovely litter – have a go at crafting with litter.
We all love our pets, so please come along and show them off. Everyone is most welcome, great or small!
Contact Parish Warden Ric Hargreaves for any further details.
