The Rotary Club of Ajijic honored new and distinguished members at a celebration luncheon and social held Tuesday, September 30 at D’Shanti Restaurant, with a full house of guests in attendance.
Lakeside Presbyterian Church
Sunday, September 28, the sermon will be “When You Are Anxious,” from Philippians 4:6-7.
Life is full of struggles—anxiety, weariness, loneliness, discouragement, trials, and pain. When life feels overwhelming, where do we turn? This week, we’re starting a new six-week sermon series called “When Life Gets Hard,” exploring God’s promises for hard times. Each week, we’ll see how Scripture speaks to our deepest struggles and discover the peace, strength, and hope that only Christ can give. When it’s 3 a.m., and you’re wide awake because your mind is racing with worries about money, commitments, or relationships ... you’re struggling with anxiety. Anxiety makes you miserable—and it won’t let you rest. But God offers something better: His perfect peace. Join us this Sunday as we discover how faith can turn restless anxiety into calm trust.
A select group of guests was privileged to attend the September 20 Ajijic performance of “God’s Megaphone: A Visit with C.S. Lewis,” written and performed by acclaimed Texas theater artist Steven Fenley.
Of all the colorful characters who have shaped Ajijic’s history, few left as vivid an impression as Eleanor Saenger—better known as La Rusa. The actress, vocalist, and ballet dancer captivated audiences on stages from New York’s Metropolitan Opera House to Europe’s grand theaters before settling at Lake Chapala a century ago.
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
The theme at the Sunday, September 21, 10:30 a.m. service at the Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is “Chalice Circles: A Patchwork Service.”
Mike Blanco, Susanne Bjorner, Tim Boeve, and June Wilson will discuss their experiences in our recent Chalice Circles. Bob Koches will be the service leader.
There will be an opportunity to sign up for this year’s Circles after the service at the table outside the sanctuary.
Christ Church Lakeside
Christ Church Lakeside Welcomes You Christ Church Lakeside, part of the Anglican Church of Mexico, invites you to worship with us every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for Holy Eucharist. We’re located in Ajijic, next to the Smokehouse Restaurant. This week’s sermon, “Lost and Found” by Rev. Danny Borkowski, is based on Luke 15:1–10 — a powerful message of redemption and grace. All are welcome, whether you’re exploring faith or deepening your walk with Christ.
ANAVETS Mexico Unit 19 celebrated its fifth anniversary on Friday, September 5, with more than 100 members and well-wishers in attendance. Guadalajara’s new Canadian Consul and Senior Trade Commissioner Sébastien Moffett and Assistant Consular Officer Stephanie Saavedra were welcomed as honored guests.
