Welcome to the Northern Skies District Office of the United Methodist Church. Ours is the largest and northernmost district of the Michigan Annual Conference. The District has shoreline on three of the Great Lakes, Superior, Michigan and Huron and is home to moose, wolves, deer, turkey, countless other fauna, lots of flora, and a few people! Our weather can be chilly, but our churches, like our people, are warm and welcoming.

On Sunday, October 4, Glennie United Methodist Church celebrated St. Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Animals, by hosting a Blessing of the Animals for the community. The day was sunny and warm, creating a wonderful atmosphere filled with joy for both pets and their owners.

During the gathering, six dogs and two cats received blessings, and a memorial was held for a beloved dog who had passed away. A special blessing was also offered for the pet owners, giving thanks for their love and care for the wonderful creatures God has entrusted to them.

It was a joyful day of celebrating the special bond between people and their beloved pets!
