Area churches plan weekend services

Pastor Jim Schrotel gives Unity message

Guest speaker Pastor Jim Schrotel summarizes this past week’s presentation of his Toe Inn the Water Buffet Workshop by speaking at the Unity of Whidbey Sunday Worship Celebration.

All are welcome to an inspiring wrap-up of an important week of spiritual exploration and connection with a well-loved and respected Unity minister and teacher.

Talented musician Charles Stromberg will provide the music.

Unity meets at 10 a.m. Sunday at 5671 Crawford Road, Langley. All are welcome.

Strength and peace at Sunday sermon

Every day brings temptations to believe you’re not rich enough, not intelligent enough, not attractive enough or not healthy enough; these temptations come through advertisements, mass media, and even gossip and lies we might hear. “Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird” (Proverbs 1:17).

On Sunday, the Christian Science service explores the hypnotic or mesmerizing lies that claim you are less than the beloved and perfect child of God. Readings will demonstrate how you can use prayer to find strength and peace. “Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” (Psalms 108:13)

This inspiring service begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Christian Science Church, 5910 Highway 525 (just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road).

UUCWI service remembers loved ones

The Sunday service for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island will be a time for remembering those now gone who have enriched our lives.

All are encouraged to bring pictures and mementos of beloveds to display on the altar and (if you are willing) say a few words about the difference they have made in your life.

The Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship choir will provide the special music. It will give a short concert after the service followed by a potluck in its honor; please bring a dish to share. All are welcome.

The service is at 10 a.m. Sunday at 20103 Highway 525, just north of Freeland. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information.

Pastor Wenzek gives the sermon at SWCC

Why does Jesus matter? Pastor Darrell Wenzek will speak on the topic, “A Life Built on a Solid Foundation,” based on Matthew 7:24-27, this Sunday at South Whidbey Community Church.

Morning worship begins at 10 and is preceded by an adult learning forum at 9 a.m., with Stan Walker leading an inductive study into Paul’s Letter to the Philippians and Art Angst leading a study into the Gospel of Luke. These are open classes where everyone is invited.

SWCC is a local independent, non-denominational church that gathers for worship each Sunday at the Deer Lagoon Grange, 5142 Bayview Road, Langley.
