In a so-called “post-virus” world in which Covid-19 is still very much in evidence, some religious congregations in Guadalajara and the Chapala area, encouraged by a modicum of government relaxation, are moving away from online services and groping towards in-person services.
But not all.
Christ Church
Christ Church Lakeside, a parish of the Diocese of the West in the Anglican Church of Mexico, will observe the sixth Sunday After Pentecost, July 12, celebrating the Holy Eucharist at 11 a.m. via Zoom. Rev. Linda Ramos will celebrate and give a message with the theme “Good Things are Happening” based on Matthew 13:1-9,18-23.
Mariana Macias, Chapala’s victorious candidate in the recent 2019 Miss Jalisco pageant, has joined the circle of ten role models selected to inspire young ladies enrolled in ChangeMakers, the new educational program geared to foster the empowerment of local women.
Lakeside Freethinkers
