LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This Sunday, the local United Methodist Churches will continue with the second in a three-part series asking, “God, Are You There?”

We began with the beautiful Psalm 23:1-3 , “You Restore my Soul,” This Psalm of David is often referred to as just “The Lord is My Shepherd,” possibly the most quoted psalm in the Bible.

This Sunday we will focus on Psalm 23:4, “You Are with Me.” Note, it is not a question, but a pondering. The question is, “How can we let it happen?”

This is not a psalm for the dead; it is for us, the living. It is a place we can walk and talk side by side with the Lord. That place in our soul that can regain peace and strength as we navigate this life.

Join us as we discuss exactly how powerful God’s love, peace, strength, and victory are, and how that grace is available to each of us.

For that get-up-early place to worship, join our Potter Valley United Methodist Church, 10075 Main Street, Potter Valley, at 9 a.m.

Join Clearlake Oaks UMC, 12487 The Plaza, at noon.

For an afternoon service join with us at Clearlake UMC, 14521 Pearl Avenue at 2 p.m.

We welcome all to come for a visit to one of our churches as we continue our three-part series, “God, Are You There?”

Dawn-Karen Roberts is pastor of the United Methodist Churches in Clearlake, Clearlake Oaks and Potter Valley.
