San Andres English
“Every conversion, like St. Paul’s for example, is a raising to new life. It is like Christ saying to our mother, the Church, ‘Look, your Son is alive again,’ and ‘her mourning is changed into dancing.’”
So says Fr. Basil G. Royston, D. Min., who will offer the homily “Christ Who Restores Us to Life” at San Andres Catholic Church’s English-language service on Sunday, June 5.
San Andres holds a “First Sunday of the Month Food Drive” to help support the children at Villa Infantil orphanage and the sisters who care for them. Bring a non-perishable food item, toilet tissue, cleaning products and the like to Sunday’s Liturgy.
San Andres is located at the corner of Ramon Corona and Parroquia, one block from the Ajijic main plaza.
Christ Church Episcopal
Christ Church Episcopal will return to its normal schedule Sunday, June 5, after visiting La Sagrada Familia Mission last last week. The congregation will observe the Third Sunday after Pentecost by celebrating The Holy Eucharist Rite Two at 9:30 a.m. at the Little Chapel by the Lake, located at Carretera 10 in Chula Vista. Fr. Danny Borkowski will preside and give a message with the theme “Compassion,” based on Luke 7:11-17.
The congregations of Christ Church Episcopal and Little Chapel share a common fellowship time between their two services, from about 10:35 to 11:10 a.m.
Christ Church sponsors a Bible Study Tuesday, 2 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Little Chapel. Come spend an hour tackling the Book of Genesis.
Lakeside Presbyterian
Why do we worship God? Sunday, June 5, Pastor Ross Arnold of Lakeside Presbyterian Church will preach a sermon entitled “Holy is the Lord,” in which he will explain both why and how we should worship God. This sermon is part of the ongoing series on worship.
Everyone is invited to experience some significant changes in how Lakeside Presbyterian Church will be worshipping in the weeks and months ahead.
Lakeside Presbyterian Church meets in their new church building in Riberas del Pilar. Turn towards the lake at Mom’s Restaurant; the church is two blocks down on the right. English-language services are at 10 a.m. and Spanish-language services at noon. Everyone is welcome.
Lake Chapala Baptist
Says Brother Bob Hendrick: “One aspect of God’s character is that He does not change. However, the ‘God of the Old Testament’ seem very different from the ‘God of the New Testament.’ There is only one God. But your children may remember the parents of their childhood as very different from the parents of their adulthood. (Seldom do we make our grown children eat all their peas or go to their room.) The Bible says that the Old Testament, which centered on the Law of Moses, is a school teacher, pointing us to the New Testament, which centers on grace in Christ. Hebrews describes the difference as that between earthly Mount Sinai (touchable but unapproachable) and heavenly Mount Zion (not touchable but approachable).”
The Lake Chapala Baptist Church celebrates worship service each Sunday, 11 a.m. at Santa Margarita 147 in Riberas del Pilar.
Little Chapel by the Lake
The guest speaker for the Little Chapel by the Lake on Sunday, June 5 will be Frank Fagan, who will present the third of a three-part series on “The Three Stages of the Christian Life.”
Praise and worship service starts at 11:15 a.m. after a joint fellowship time (with Christ Church) with coffee and refreshments from 10:35 to 11:10 a.m.
On Wednesday, June 8, the Little Chapel will show the 1973 drama “Woodlawn” in the fellowship hall at 5 p.m. Based on the events happening in the south in the early 1970’s, when school integration was still in its infancy, this film shows what happened to one high school that was different.
The Little Chapel is located on the Ajijic-Chapala highway in Chula Vista, next to the golf course.
Unitarians
On Sunday, June 5, at the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Lynn Cleek presents a sermon entitled “UU Values.”
While UUs have shared values, they have a diversity of beliefs. Sharing stories and faith journeys makes us each richer within a community of seekers, says Cleek.
Gary Cleek is the service leader.
The Unitarians now meet 10:30 a.m. at their new facility at Hidalgo 261, opposite the bell tower, on the north side of the Carretera in Riberas del Pilar.
New Hope Christian
The non-denominational congregation of New Hope Christian Fellowship will return to its normal worship service on Sunday, June 5.
Last Sunday’s presentation by the residents of La Ola was a refreshing alternative to the congregation’s normal service. Treating the entire group to lunch afterward permitted a good opportunity for plenty of social interaction.
This week’s service will include all the normal items with the message being delivered by Pastor Gene Raymer. “It’s How You Look At It” explains that God works in our lives and others’ to bring about miracles and opportunities to serve Him every day. But if our hearts aren’t attuned to His voice, we miss these great events. Fellowship continues after the service with a meal at a local restaurant.
New Hope Christian Fellowship seeks to model itself after the first century Christian Church and warmly welcomes all believers in Christ. For more information, call the pastor at 766-3435 or (333) 724-6179.
St. Andrew’s Anglican
When Jesus performed miracles, people paid attention. But miracles were not His mission; His mission was to show the people the meaning of God’s Love. In this week’s story from Luke’s Gospel, Jesus raises to life a widow’s only son.
Deacon Robbin Del Nagro’s sermon at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church – “All God’s Children Got Voice” – reflects on how this act of compassion restores the mother’s life as well as that of her son.
The Holy Eucharist begins at 10 a.m., preceded by the children’s bilingual Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., and a coffee hour in the garden following the service.
Every Sunday, the feeding programs supported by St. Andrew’s welcome donations of non-perishable food items, left in the baskets by the church doors.
