Unitarians
The Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will provide services via Zoom. Instructions for accessing the online service are at lakechapalauu.org. Guest Minister Rev. Dr. Daniel O’Connell will speak “Compassion: Love in Action,” Sunday, June 28, 10:30 a.m. service.
For some of us, compassion has always come easy and is a strength we use in moderation. Others of us suffer from “compassion fatigue” and find ourselves becoming more uncaring than we’d like. How do we muster compassion for people who really, really don’t deserve it? We begin with mindfulness, self-kindness, and acknowledgment of shared humanity.

Lakeside Presbyterian
Worship services can be seen each Sunday at 10 a.m. via facebook.com/lpcchapala, or at www.lpcchapala.org.
LPC devotionals are posted to these sites Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
Pastor Carolyn Hansen’s sermon is “The Once and Future King.” Psalm 72 was written for the coronation of an Israeli King, describing what people expected from their king. This psalm also tells us what we hope for when God’s kingdom comes to earth and our Messiah reigns.
LPC Outreach Director, Martin Thorner and his team delivered dozens of despensas in north shore towns. The cost above LPC’s regular deliveries was again underwritten by the Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club. This week the despensas also included children’s clothing.
While delivering despensas, Thorner found a family with four young children living in a makeshift tent in the mountains. They had been kicked out of the room they’d been living in because they have no money. They had a little furniture, but no walls or roof, no potable water, no kitchen, no bathroom, and the rainy season was just starting.
Thorner discovered a small apartment in Chapala renting for 1,200 pesos monthly. LPC has designated gifts which cover this kind of outreach, so this little family’s rent is being paid to get them through the rainy season. They are so grateful and happy for their new place!
Quoting Matthew 25:35, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.”

Lakeside Community
Fellowship
That the Lord can change us in a positive way by the power of the Holy Spirit is cause for thanksgiving. To change from being one type of person to another is the essence of repentance. The liar becomes truthful, the thief becomes honest, the profane becomes pure and the proud becomes humble. We know from the Scriptures that God doesn’t change: “I am the Lord, I change not.” His attitude toward us today is the same as it was in eternity past and it will be the same in eternity future, so in the meantime we can allow the Spirit to work on changing us into His image.
The church meets online every Sunday at 10 a.m. E-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for instructions on how to have fellowship with us.
