DESCRIPTION:"Sentience Surrounds Us: A Blessing of the Animals"\nRev. Laure
 n Levwood\n\nHuman beings often believe our emotions and intelligence uniq
 uely sets us apart from nature\, yet this could not be further from the tr
 uth. In fact\, it is because we are of part of nature that we are able to 
 think and feel. The natural world is alive\, vibrant\, and buzzing with mu
 ltiple intelligences - some of them different or beyond our human capabili
 ties. Science confirms what ancient wisdom already knew: Earth is full of 
 creatures who are both sentient (capable of deep feeling) and sapient (cap
 able of complex thinking). Come join us for a "Blessing of the Animals" se
 rvice that celebrates the sentience (and sapience) that surrounds us\, in 
 loving memory of Dr. Jane Goodall.\n \nDo you have a special creature in 
 your life who you'd like to offer a blessing?\n \nWell-behaved pets who a
 re capable of sitting quietly are invited to accompany their humans to our
  "Blessing of the Animals" worship service this Sunday\, April 12th.\n \n
 You may also choose to bring a memento of your animal companions\, such as
  a photo\, lock of hair\, toy\, or collar.\n \nRev. Lauren Levwood and ve
 terinarian Dr. Jane Laura Doyle will co-lead the blessing for our beloved 
 animal friends.
