COOP'S SCOOPS
To understand what inspires Rev. Judie to share her weekly Coop's Scoops, we decided to ask her! Her response might encourage you to dive into this week's blog. "Writing them has helped me focus 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!"
Be sure to check out the latest weekly Coop's Scoop from one of the cherished churches in Windermere—you'll be glad you did. That's a promise!
Winter Service Schedule: Sundays at 10:30am.
*Join our welcoming community at 10:30 am each Sunday via Zoom or in person at Mockridge Hall, one of the cherished churches in Windermere.
During the winter season, our services led by incumbent Rev Judie Cooper are held at Mockridge Hall (the little white cottage beside the Church) and last about an hour. They are followed by delicious treats and hearty conversation. We are pleased to announce that the Zoom service option has resumed, so please let us know if you would like to sign up for this convenient option. Not on our email list? Scroll below to sign up.
Weather note: If the forecast indicates treacherous driving conditions, we will send a notice regarding Zoom-only services to everyone on our list, along with the Zoom link and bulletin at 8:00 am on Sunday morning. DURING POWER OUTAGES, when the link cannot be sent, you may safely assume there is no service at the church that day. When in doubt about travel conditions, please stay home and worship through Zoom. Always use your best judgment to determine the safest option for yourself.
