Maybe it was the end of a dream, a loss, a surprise that wasn’t welcome.
Maybe it’s just the exhaustion of everyday struggles that seem to have no end.
If you have — or even if you haven’t — Kelseyville Presbyterian Church invites you to join them this Sunday at 10 a.m.
For the third Sunday of Easter, they will look at the story of the encounter between two disciples and Jesus on the road to Emmaus.
Those two disciples — one of whom we’re told is named Cleopas — were getting out of Jerusalem in the days after the crucifixion.
Like the other disciples, they were terrified and distraught by what had just happened to the one they believed was sent by God to save the world.
What they didn’t realize was that it was Resurrection Day, that Jesus was on the move and he was about to replace their doubts and fears with his presence and truth.
It’s a wonderful story, one captured in the Gospels to remind us that we have a future and a hope thanks to our Risen Savior.
All are welcome to join the church for worship, friendship and coffee.
If you can’t make it, a video of the sermon will be posted on the church’s website.
Kelseyville Presbyterian Church is located at Church and Third streets.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — On Sunday, Oct. 23, the Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County welcomes back the Rev. Esther Wallace with a sermon titled, ““Creating Care Webs.”
Rev. Wallace writes, “We are all emerging from a time of great change into a time of great change. Right now, so few things seem certain — from the future of our planet to the contents of our grocery store shelves. As we adapt to a rapidly shifting world, how do we create structures that sustain and empower us not just as individuals, but as people in community?”
Drawing from the work of disability activists, this week’s service considers the concept of care webs and asks us to boldly imagine what can be possible when we choose to show up for ourselves and for one another.
Esther Wallace works and plays in the realms of meaning-making, sacred space and social justice.
Raised Christian, Wallace became a Unitarian Universalist in 2014, and she has cherished being invited to profound experiences in Buddhist, Taoist, Humanist, Muslim and Pagan communities.
Concurrently with her UU identity, Wallace is in the process of converting to Judaism.
She is a graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry and is very interested in emergent spiritual communities and the intersections of ministry and disability.
The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County’s in-person services are held at 3810 Main St., Kelseyville at 11 a.m. All are welcome.
COVID masks are recommended but not required if you are vaccinated.
It is the mission of Unitarian Universalists to create a religious community that fosters liberal religious living through worship, study, service and fellowship to make a difference to our lives, our community and our world.
They invite you to join them in fellowship.
