Arrive a few minutes early to get settled in your space.

The book is read aloud during each session with discussion. Each session begins with 20 minutes of sitting practice and ends with a ten-minute silent reflection/meditation period. This is an open group and drop ins are welcome.
Those with an interest in socializing with others who attend HoA are invited to informal gatherings for a restaurant meal following the practice and teachings every Wednesday. No need to RSVP.

Lakeside Presbyterian
Sunday, May 21, Pastor Carolyn will talk about: “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”
How do you persuade someone to do the right thing? How do you help people who are enemies become friends? How do you help heal relationships among those in your church, your family, your friends? The apostle Paul does this masterfully in his letter to Philemon, the book we are looking at this week.
Key word: Reconciliation.
Key verse: I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.
Philemon 1:6

Unitarian Universalists
Sunday, May 21, Rev. Matt Alspaug will present “Creative Genius.”
In ancient Rome, genius was the deity associated with a person. A particularly strong genius could give a person great powers for achievement, hence they too, were called geniuses. We continue to think of genius as an individual trait, but it seems creative ideas often emerge from community effort. We’ll explore the complicated nature of creativity, as we wonder about the geniuses among us - or perhaps, some genius that we all share. Deb Gang will be the service associate.
Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship services are Sundays, 10:30 a.m. In-person services are now available at Hidalgo 261, Riberas del Pilar.
Abundant Life Church
Can you afford it? The question of if you can afford something depends upon your budget but also on how badly you want it. We all know that if you want something badly enough the budget can be rearranged or we do without certain things. Some young people will go without food to get the latest Iphone! Jesus also calls us to count the cost of following Him. Some are willing to fit Jesus in if the budget allows but when His demands on their life and time increase they say it is simply not worth it. Come Sunday, May 21, as we are encouraged to practice the concept that having Jesus is worth more than everything we might have to give up.
Abundant Life Church is affiliated with the Assemblies of God of Mexico. English-language services are Sunday, 10:30 a.m., Spanish-Language services are Sunday, 9 a.m. and noon. Bible study in English is held at 11 a.m. each Wednesday with Spanish language Bible studies on Friday at 6:45 p.m.
