Lakeside PresbyterianChurch
This Sunday’s sermon: “What God Wants you to Know About Him,” from Exodus 34:6-7.
The first question in any job interview is: “Tell me about yourself.” If you just joined a new book group, chances are the leader will say, “Let’s go around the room and briefly introduce ourselves.” In these situations, we have to choose what we think is most pertinent to say. In Exodus, God gives a brief introduction of himself and his most important attributes. If we want to know God, this is a great place to start.
English language service has temporarily relocated to, Constitución 26, in Ajijic, 2nd floor, between Ramón Corona and Nicolas Bravo. Enter through the back garage area and walk upstairs to the service. There is also a small elevator at the front of the building for those with limited mobility. Join us for coffee and refreshments after the service.

Eckankar
Everything revolves around love. It always does. No matter how much we rush about in this world and how harried, ambitious, or sorrowful we become, the world stays together for some reason. The reason is God’s love. It makes the whole work, even though sometimes it looks like nothing is working at all.
The two supreme laws are: God is love, and Soul exists because God loves it.
But how do you make this work out in everyday life? Whenever you’re in doubt about any action, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it Kind? You can also ask, What would love do?
Meet with other like-minded Souls for open non-denominational spiritual discussions Tuesdays, 2 to 3:15 p.m. at the Lake Chapala Society.

Abundant Life Church
We are what we think. This may sound over-simplified but the truth is that our thoughts limit or propel us. Eventually we are all products of what we choose to think about. This is why education is a key element in childhood development. To expand the mind of a child is to expand their possibilities for the future. The same is true in our relationship with God. Come this Sunday, April 6, to be challenged to think the right thoughts about God, yourself and others. You will be amazed at how your future can be changed.

Heritage Baptist Church
At Christ’s ascension He left His spirit to indwell all believers· hearts. The Word that created everything now indwells true believers.
Did you know that when Christ ascended, He sprinkled the heavens with His blood? What a phenomenon that must have been! At His death, the Old Testament covenant was shaken and replaced by the new covenant of grace, and it will be forever unshakeable, fueled by mercy and truth that will never end.
Christians, then, are the temple of the Holy Spirit where Christ Himself abides. The connection is eternal. And along with His glorious mercy, we receive the Kingdom that can likewise never be shaken. Serve God acceptably, believers, with reverence and awe. We are not an island, we are part of an eternal kingdom. In all we do, let us hear Him and worship Him.
This Sunday, April 13, is Friendship Sunday at Heritage... come and see what it’s all about! We meet at 10:30 a.m. at the Chapala American Legion.
