Lakeside Presbyterian Church

The apostle John, also known as the apostle of love, wrote the book of 1 John to early Christians. In this short letter, John writes about the importance of love. He says that love is the greatest commandment, and that it is the way we know that we are children of God. 

He also talks about the importance of fellowshipping with other believers, and of walking in the light. John’s message is one of hope and encouragement. He tells us that we can find love, fellowship, and light in Jesus Christ. He also instructs us that we can overcome the world by loving one another.

The book of 1 John is a reminder of the essentials of discipleship and is the key topic of Dr. Wayne Cook’s sermon Sunday, June 25.

English-language service begins at 9:30 a.m. Spanish service begins 11 a.m. The English service also streams each Sunday at facebook.com/LPCChapala.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Sunday, June 25, Dave MacMillan will give the sermon “All Our Births & Deaths.”

Rites of passage signal a readiness to pass from one life stage to the next: baptisms, bar mitzvahs, graduations, weddings, preparing for death and finally the ultimate passage into death itself. Rites can also mark other passages: to conceive or to abort a child; to take one job or career or to leave them behind; to make a geographical move; to propose a marriage or a divorce; and many others.

This morning we reflect on some of the approaching passages in our lives and how we might create rites of passage to mark them.

After serving six congregations, Dave MacMillan is enjoying retirement at the Italo Hotel and enjoying the best days of his life. He has been called to guide a vision fast in China in October.

Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship services are Sundays, 10:30 a.m. at Hidalgo 261, Riberas del Pilar, next to Doppio Café, across the road from the Catholic Church.
