October is Comfort Dog Month at Holy Trinity

For the month of October Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will be celebrating and supporting The Comfort Dogs, a part of Lutheran Church Charities.  The comfort dog mission is a part of Lutheran Church charities. Founded in 2008, this national human care ministry embraces the calming nature and skills of pure bred Golden Retrievers. These working animals are trained to interact with people of all ages who are suffering and in need. They are placed with churches and schools around the country and are dispatched in times of crisis to bring comfort to all affected including first responders and volunteers who serve them.

    As part of our celebration, Maggie and her handler will be joining us for worship on October 21.  Maggie is a 6 year old comfort dog based in Newtown, Connecticut.  She has worked during Hurricane Sandy, she was first in Boston after the marathon bombings, she is at Sandy Hook elementary school almost daily, bringing comfort a n a little feeling of safety to victims of crisis and naturan disasters.  Please join us in welcoming Maggie and her family to Holy Trinity Sunday, October 21 at our 10 AM service.  They will then have lunch with us immediately after service until 1 PM.  If you would like to donate to the Comfort dog ministry please send a check to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 60 Mulberry Street, Yonkers, NY 10701.
