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.
* Easter Two is April 27th. We will gather at 10:30 am to worship in our beautiful Church building. Traditionally, this week is called LOW SUNDAY as many people find it an opportune time to sleep in after having risen up to attend Easter Sunday services. Let's break that tradition! May this be a High Sunday for everyone
* Our hearts go out to our Roman Catholic friends as they grieve the loss of Pope Francis. His legacy will continue to bless our world. He wanted Christians of all denominations to hold hands and hearts together as one, maintaining our theological differences yet also being one in faith and one in love. I think it was absolutely the grace of God that gave dear Pope Francis one last opportunity to celebrate Easter Mass in the square, be amidst the people and kiss the babies before welcoming him into the Kingdom the very next morning. May he rest in peace and rise in glory! Amen.
* Please begin your prayers now for the 2025 Synod of the Diocese of Algoma which will begin on May 7th in Sault Ste. Marie. Our Synod delegate Anne Fullerton and Alternate Delegate Joey Brown will be attending a pre-Synod meeting in Emsdale with Rev. Judie on April 29th.
* Looking for a way to meet people while contributing to the community? Contact us now if you are interested in taking a role in worship, making treats and coffee, helping with literacy coaching, supporting the breakfast program and pizza days at Watt School and so much more.
