Lake Chapala Baptist Church
Jesus shatters our thirst for payback with a call that sounds impossible. Love your enemies, pray for your persecutors, give more than what’s taken. This is not weakness; it is the power of the Spirit making us like Christ, who loved us while we were His enemies. The question is not, “Do I know how to forgive?” but “Is the love of Jesus so alive in me that even my enemies see Him?”

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Gregg Kemp will speak on “The Value of Mystical Poetry” Sunday, October 12, noon at the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship service.
What is mystical poetry and why is it important to human spiritual development? Jelaluddin Rumi, the 12th-century mystical poet, has become the most-read poet in North America and in the world. Why has Rumi’s poetry and that of Hafiz, and other Sufi poets become so popular? How can one mine the value of these profound metaphorical lines? Greg will dive deep into this subject to demystify this profound topic.
Greg has been a 3HO Kundalini yoga teacher, Sheik of the Whirling Dervishes (the 700-year-old tradition of Rumi), and Minister of the Essentialist Church of Christ. He, and his co-conspirator in love and life, Alicia, co-founded Project Somos Learning Village in Guatemala, where they lived onsite for 13 years. He now lives in Ajijic with Alicia, and their 3 dogs.
Tim Boeve will be the service associate.
