COOP'S SCOOPS
To get a sense of what inspires Rev. Judie to write her weekly Coop's Scoops we asked her! The answer may spur you on to read this week's blog. "Writing them has helped me to concentrate more on those things that are lovely, just, of good report, compassionate, kind, and true. It is my prayer that reading them may help you find peace in the same way!"
Read the latest Coop's Scoop...you'll be glad you did. That's a promise!

News Bits for this Week.

* On Wednesday evenings during Lent- commencing March 12th - Bishop Michael Oulton will be offering a book study via Zoom, reflecting on a new book by Jesse Zink called "Faithful, Creative, Hopeful: Fifteen Theses for Christians in a Crisis Shaped World." The book can be ordered on line from your choice of vendors or perhaps through the Red Canoe Book Store in Huntsville. I will be attending this study and am looking forward to it! Archdeacon Kelly Baetz+ recommends this study: "Bishop Michael, who is assisting in Algoma as Archbishop Anne takes on extra duties with the national church, is a very engaging speaker and, more importantly, a Christian of great conviction." To register for this study email your interest to carla.macewan@dioceseofalgoma.com, and she will make sure you receive the zoom link to join the study next week
