Weekly Worship - June 13, 2020

St. Andrew’s Anglican

St. Andrew’s Anglican Church will meet Sunday, June 14, 10 a.m., via Zoom for morning prayer, when Rev. Robin Moore will give the sermon. Email the church if you wish to receive a Zoom invitation.

Rev. Moore, sends daily meditations with music from our minister of music Timothy G. Ruff Welch to our 250-plus members. Friar James Twyman also helps out with the daily meditations.

St. Andrew’s volunteer phone/email tree stays in touch with its members personally every week.

St. Andrew’s consignment shop, Todo Bueno, has reopened. Every donation or consignment you make benefits St. Andrew’s Outreach Ministry. Be it clothing, kitchenware, electronics, books, bric-a-brac, furniture, appliances, collectables, sports equipment, etc., bringing it to Todo Bueno enables our parish to financially support a number of Lakeside charities.

Lakeside Presbyterian

Worship services can be seen each Sunday at 10 a.m. via facebook.com/lpcchapala, or at www.lpcchapala.org.

LPC devotionals are posted to these sites Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.

Continuing our series on the Psalms, Pastor Carolyn’s sermon title for Sunday, June 14 is taken from Psalm 42:3, When can I go and meet with God?

We all have been concerned about how our neighbors are surviving the economic turmoil of businesses closing over the past weeks. LPC has stepped up our feeding ministry in response to the need. Our doors may have closed, but our kitchen has been open! Just two people have cooked hundreds of meals for local people - including the families of the kids in our literacy program, and for the men and women in two local drug rehab centers.

With financial help from Chapala Sunrise Rotary Club, we have more than tripled the number of despensas we normally provide to more than 200 in the past four weeks with delivery from San Antonio Tlayacapan to Santa Cruz de la Soledad. Some Rotary Club donations came from the US; LPC is proud to be part of an international effort.

Unitarians

The Lake Chapala Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will provide services via Zoom. Instructions for accessing the online service are at lakechapalauu.org. Alspaugh will speak on “Shadow of Racism in America” at the Sunday, June 14, 10:30 a.m. service.

One of the surprises for many of us as we’ve delved deeper into the history of the United States of America is how deeply racism and white supremacy is woven into so much of the legal and cultural framework of the country. Racism is pervasive and yet at times seems hidden in plain sight - until it explodes in often destructive and violent ways. In Jungian psychology such an aspect would be called a “shadow;” in an individual the shadow would be qualities that the person hides, represses, and denies. Could racism and white supremacy be shadow qualities in a nation or a culture? How might we address the presence of such a shadow; how might we “work for a cure?”

Roy Haynes will be Service Leader.

Abundant Life Church

What or who is the most important in your life. The world seems to have decided that they are most important and don’t think about others. If we feel that we are the most important or even if we state that your family is the most important in our lives, we fall short of God´s plan. God celebrates those who have Him first. Let´s choose today to be celebrated by God! 

Our service will be both on our Facebook page as well as our YouTube channel. Sunday, June 14, the service broadcast will begin at 10 a.m. for English at abundantlifechapala.com and 11:30 a.m. for Spanish at vidaabundantechapala.com.

Lakeside Community

Fellowship

It’s almost impossible to avoid what’s going on in the world today. I know people who are angry, sad or confused.  And the question comes, “If you believe in God why doesn’t He do something?” That assumes that the sovereign Lord of the universe operates in ways that the questioner thinks are right. But consider what God says in Isaiah 55, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” No, I don’t know why God doesn’t intervene the way we think He should, but I do know this, earlier in Isaiah 55 He tells us what we should do: “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” There’s coming a day when all wrongs will be made right but today each of us needs to repent of sin and put our trust in the Lord.  He knows what He’s doing.

The church meets online every Sunday at 10 a.m. E-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for instructions on how to have fellowship with us.
