Lakeside Presbyterian
Pastor Carolyn will talk This week about Relentless love. We often say “God is love,” which is as awesome as it is true. But do we really, deeply understand what God’s love looks like? God gave us a picture of it in the book of Hosea—and it’s shocking. As we continue through our sermon series on the books of the Bible, this Sunday we will go through the book of Hosea to learn how God loves us.
Service starting time is 9:30 a.m. for the English-language service and 11 a.m. for the Spanish-language service.
The live English service at Calle San Jorge 250 in Riberas del Pilar, also streams each Sunday on Facebook at Lakeside Presbyterian Church-Chapala or at lpc-chapala.org.
If you need a ride, call 376-106-0853 before 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Unitarians
Sunday, September 11, the topic is “Belonging.” Although western culture reveres the idea of the rugged individualist, the reality is that we all depend on our groups to survive and thrive. It is our belonging to families, communities, nations, and ultimately the world that makes life worthwhile. What and to whom do we belong, and why? We’ll explore the nature of belonging, its benefits and its complexities. Rev. Matt will be presenting via video from North Carolina and Jane Castleman will be the service leader.
Next week, David Ellison will speak on the history of Mexican Independence Day.

Lake Chapala Baptist
Pastor Linton’s sermon last week was all about how we Christians can make ourselves shining beacons to the world… and the responsibility we all own to do exactly that.
“Let your lights shine, no matter the circumstances!” he exhorted us. “Search yourself for brightness and darkness, and align yourself with the light. This is how the holy spirit convicts us, guides us, and brings us to spiritually maturity.
“Are you a clear light, shining like a lighthouse on a high hill? We are called to be light-bearers and peacemakers, portraying the beauty of Christ in our lives. Let your life prove your testimony! Don’t complain. Don’t question, don’t argue. That is submission to God’s will. Filled with the joy of the Lord, so we shine!”
Share memorable weekly sermons, uplifting music, and an ongoing thirst for true wisdom at 10:45 a.m. at the Lake Chapala Baptist Church. Santa Margarita 147, Riberas del Pilar.
