You love your dog.  We love your dog.  Even better, God loves your dog. God has given us our pets as helpers, companions, and to make our lives richer.  And amazingly, God even uses our pets to teach us things about God.   On Sunday, February 23rd at 4 p.m., Second Church is hosting our monthly alternative worship service that we like to call "Dog Church."  We want to provide this service to our community, and we want to create a place where dog lovers can meet one another and maybe even form our own community. So come on out, meet some great people, and let's celebrate God's creation together!
