🐶 🐑 Blessing of the Animals 🐴 🐈 August 24, 2025

Time to bless and celebrate the Animals! Join us as we celebrate our love and gratitude for all they do for us and with us. Bring your pets, service animals, working animals, etc., or bring their photos to receive a blessing.

This is a super fun service and will have special animal themed music and of course coffee/social time afterwards.

We will be meeting in Fellowship Hall instead of the sanctuary for this Blessing of the Animals service. Animals need to be on lead or in carrier/kennel (dog, cats, bunnies, lizards, birds, etc) with large animals staying outside (horses, goats, sheep, etc).

RECENT VANDALISM AT OUR CHURCH

On the evening of June 13, a person threw a rock into two stained glass windows, shattering the protective safety glass and punched holes in the inner, stained glass panels. He also threw a brick through a front window of our Fellowship Hall. Sheriff’s Deputies are investigating the incident.

To our Beavercreek Neighbors,

Thank you for the many emails, phone messages, and offers of financial gifts following the recent vandalism at our church. We are deeply touched by your support.  

Although appalled by this demonstration of violence, we feel blessed knowing that many in our community stand with us and our message of love, acceptance, and inclusion. 

If you’d like to support our recovery efforts but aren’t sure how, please reach out to us at beavercreekucc@gmail.com , (503) 632-4553, or donate.

Thank you again for your love.

Our own Master Recycler, Lee Evans, will have a display on how you can recycle so much! We’ll also have a BUCC information table about our Earthwise efforts, the food pantry and Backpack Buddies programs.

Dinner will be tacos, with pork donated by Mulino based Campfire Farms, as well as vegan options. Deliciously prepared, sustainably and ethically sourced and produced. Read more about Campfire Farms and their Animal Welfare Approved program.

We have several different groups and activities already committed to having a presence at the event and are working on others. Special hands-on “earthly” activities for the kids are being planned.

Beavercreek United Church of Christ Welcomes Rev. David Zaworski

Beavercreek United Church of Christ (BUCC) is pleased to welcome Rev. David Zaworski as its interim sabbatical replacement pastor while its current pastor, Rev. Jennifer Seaich, is on leave from June 5th through September 10th, 2022. Pastor Jennifer has plans for travel in Europe and the U.S. to pursue a personal interest in baking, as well as dedicated time for rest and for personal and professional reflection, study, and spiritual renewal. The sabbatical is made possible by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, a private foundation, through its Clergy Renewal Program.

Rev. Zaworski has been both a full-time and an intentional interim pastor, serving churches in Forest Grove, Condon, Portland, Enterprise, Pocatello and others. BUCC feels very fortunate to have his experience and steady presence during the sabbatical time.

The Lilly Grant requires a church-focused sabbatical plan and a related series of localized activities by the congregation as well.  Using Lilly funds, BUCC has engaged the services of the Rev. Jennifer Garrison (formerly, Brownell) as a consultant to the congregational portion of the grant. In the Lilly grant application, the church wrote, “Our goal for sabbatical renewal is to reflect, reimagine, and rekindle our relationship to the community around us. One outcome is to better understand the spiritual needs of the community in traditional and alternative ways…How do we foster contemporary relationships with the community?”. BUCC is very pleased to have Rev. Garrison with us to facilitate conversations around change, hospitality and outreach.
