'ALL creatures great and small' will be welcome as a Halesowen church holds a special pet service this weekend.

Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, tortoises, indeed any pet, can attend St Peter's Church in Hiplands Road, Lapal, with their parishioners.

The Reverend Hazel Charlton said: "God loves every living thing and we will be sending the gift of love to them and all that care for them."

The service will take place on Sunday, November 18, beginning at 9.30am. All are welcome, with or without pets.
