The Blessing of the Pets is a tradition associated with the Feast Day of St. Francis, known for his love of animals and acts of kindness, generosity, and goodwill toward all.

A brief Blessing Service will be followed by a community cookout and pet-friendly snacks. All animals are welcome, as long as they are leashed, in a carrier, or otherwise under control.

For last year’s Blessing of the Pets, Gurley CPC’s pastor Brad Hall traversed Madison county to bless 60 animals – a personal record. In 35 years of ministry, Pastor Hall has blessed dozens of cats and dogs, pigs, horses, emus, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, hens, guinea pigs, ducks, a snake, and a bonded pair of donkeys.

Established in 1891, Gurley Cumberland Presbyterian Church played an integral role in the educational development of the community, establishing the Robert Donnell Academy in 1893, and later a high school and a two-year college. Today, Gurley Cumberland Presbyterian Church is a dedicated servant of the community, supporting ministries to schoolkids, homeless families, the intellectually disabled, victims of domestic violence, and other pressing needs.
