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!

* Sunday May 31st, we welcome the parishions from Evergreen Parish, Windermere United Church. We'll be worshipping together one Sunday each month until Thanksgiving. It's great to have more voices to sing, and more hearts to pray! Join us if you can at 10:30. This Sunday we study the Trinity....our One Holy God in Three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Their common Word is Love.
* Plan now to attend our really truly famous Strawberry Festival, scheduled, berries being ready, for Saturday June 27th. It's a delightful "not to be missed" event... home made short cakes, strawberries from Taylor Farm, real whipped cream, ice cream and lemonade. Watch for more information coming soon.
Other big events for your calendar include:
* An outdoor service on Sunday July 26th, when Christ Church Windermere and the United Church Windermere will together sing and pray and welcome newcomers who just can't believe such an event is happening right at the Marina. It will be wonderful. 10: 30 am.
* our "free" community bar-b-que will be held from 4:30 to 6 -ish in the beautiful grounds of Christ Church Windermere on Wednesday July 22nd.
