The good news
Clear Lake Baptist Church
Pastor Ray Smith
This week we will be discussing the transformational aspect of the good news of Jesus. Once we have accepted Jesus as our savior we are no longer that old person we were before. We are a new person.
Join us this Sunday at 10:45 a.m. to find out about the transformation you can have. Come at 9:15 a.m. for stimulating Bible studies for all ages.
We have midweek services so check out the schedule online or call the church office (707) 263-3256. Listen to sermons online. Our Tuesday night AWANA kids club is on break for the summer.
Visit our website for other services and times; www.clearlakebaptistchurch.org. The church is located at 555 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport.
A bite from the ‘fruit of the Spirit’
Galilee Lutheran Church
Lay leader Kristy Weiss
Events in recent weeks demand a response from the people who claim to follow God’s word. Our response may be measured against this Sunday’s lesson from Galations: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
The nine qualities listed in Galatians are not negotiable. They are the Biblical basis of our relationships with one another and with God. How do we measure up to this standard? Not always as well as we would wish.
This Sunday, we meet in our outdoor worship area at 10 a.m. Kristy Weiss will deliver the message. All are welcome.
Beginning July 3, our Sunday outdoor worship will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday Bible study is at 7 p.m.
Galilee Lutheran is located in the Kelseyville Rivieras at 8860 Soda Bay Road. Visit us at www.galileekelseyville.org and on Facebook.
Saying goodbye
United Christian Parish
After 17 years with Rev. Shannon Kimbell-Auth as their pastor Pastor Ray Smith Sunday, United Christian Parish (UCP) will say goodbye to its longest serving pastor in the history of the church.
Kimbell-Auth led her first Sunday worship service at UCP in July 1999, although she had already led two funerals for the Lakeport church before then. She has officiated at hundreds since and is particularly well known for her uplifting memorial services.
Sunday she will share highlights of her ministry here using the theme “Stones of Remembrance.” From the “stone that was rolled away” in Luke’s Easter account, to the stones of Iona, Scotland, to the stone thrown through her car window after a particularly contentious church meeting, stones have been a significant image for Kimbell-Auth.
She will tell of headstones and wedding stones, cornerstones and youth … on a rock (you thought we would say stoned, didn’t you?). She has also led trips to explore church history, mission trips to help Louisiana rebuild after hurricanes Katrina and Rita and is now part of the fire recovery work of Team Lake County.
The public is invited to join us for her final Lakeport celebration, Sunday at 10 a.m. at UCP, located at 745 N. Brush St. in Lakeport. All are welcome.
