Expat Living

Looking after a life partner afflicted with memory loss can be a heartbreaking experience, but not without moments of mirth and opportunities of self-understanding and growth.

That is what a full-house audience at St. Andrew’s Anglican learned from five courageous women who took the stage in the “For Whom I May Concern” readers theater program on Sunday, October 5.

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.
