I attended a couple groups here and use to go on Sundays for worship. I have a personal situation…read morethat is ongoing but a couple weeks ago it caused me to have a lot of depression and I desperately needed help from a deliverance team. A helpful and kind woman named Norma gave me the contact information to the leader of the deliverance ministry. I told that person how depressed I was feeling but let them know that I was not going to hurt myself I just really needed help. She prayed with me and told me that she would schedule an appointment with me after getting with the Pastor first. After a few days of not hearing anything I reached back out again. She said that she was still waiting to hear from her Pastor and that she would let me know by 5pm. That night around 7:30pm the police show up at my door saying that the church reported me and was worried I would hurt myself. This is five days after my conversation with this woman and her team. Two weeks later and still no one has reached out willing to help me with deliverance. When I attempted to address it they did not take responsibility nor were they accountable for the lack of help they offered. I ended up having to drive down to San Diego and found a brilliant ministry called Rebuilt Ruins Ministry, which I thank God for. If anyone needs deliverance or is having depression, please do not go to or call this church. You won't receive the help you need. I also do not feel that the worship is spirit filled, so if you're looking for an awesome worship experience I would not come here for that either. I will say they have a good Life Recovery Group held on Thursdays at 6:30PM.

Rather than chance the regular routine I asked if I could go to Church (Mass) with them on Sunday. I was Catholic for a brief period probably 50 years ago but for the most part, have been either Episcopalian or Methodist. Here in the South, the running joke about Episcopalians was that we were Catholics who flunked Latin. Latin is on longer practice but the Catholic Service and the related Episcopal Service are among the most beautiful affirmations of faith out there. Went with my Daughter and Son-in-Law and the service was excellent. The music was great and the Homily or Sermon was to the point and very relevant. Enjoyed it and looking for inspiration in the Carlsbad CA, this is a good place to consider.

I attended Easter Mass here for the first time in about 21 years. There were some genuinely…read morebeautiful parts of the experience, especially Communion, which was deeply meaningful to me. The church itself was welcoming enough, and I was able to have a real spiritual experience in spite of my concerns. Unfortunately, the priest's message was deeply disappointing and spiritually troubling to me. He repeatedly emphasized identity, cumulative personal experience, and the idea that there is no real transformation, which to me completely misses the heart of resurrection. I also found the repeated emphasis on Satan, the devil, and prayers framed around first responders and "our troops" to feel more political and fear-based than Christ-centered or universal. For me, the message felt narrow, backward, and out of alignment with love, transformation, and the deeper spiritual truth Easter is supposed to represent. So while there was real beauty in the sacramental part of the Mass, the homily and overall framing left me disturbed rather than uplifted. Your mileage may vary,

Wow. Need a great church home?!? Jesus being my only rock…read moresince the age of seven I have been around a lot of churches and church folk, cut to the chase UMV has all I could ask for in a Congregation!! Somehow this lovely Parrish has avoided a fair amount of religious quarreling including the awful church split (King of Kings my former, what a heartbreak), leaving out God's creation in LBGTQI+ (boo Saddleback), being their lovely selves while delivering the work of Christ in our world today. Methodists have lots of women all the way up the organizational chain which feels very welcoming in general! They focus on their only 10:00 service which seems a good move as other churches struggle with which service is contemporary, formal and so on changing around sometimes to the confusion of folks trying to onboard. Conversely, UM of V mixes up the music nicely. My greeter for my 1st service Scott has a genuine heart for his church and community in general and was a great person to meet. Long established members Chico and Martha had me sit with them (just the nicest folks).... come as you are or dress up, it's all good in the United Methodist Church of Vista, plenty of parking but I'm blessed to be able to easily walk there. There's something for everyone for hearts to serve! Well established groups to connect with, make new friends and support a worthy pillar in our TriCity area. Want to make a HUGE difference for UM of V and financially you're doing well? How this congregation functions nicely on the low numbers I see in the budget amazes me but that is the partnership Christians at our fundamental selves believe in, "don't judge, just help and do with my hands what I can and Our mighty Sovereign will bless our efforts", and GOD DOES! Send a donation, it is a tax write off y'know. Better give to your community first eh? Blessings and peace out, see you there~

I started baking this Turkey in the oven…read morethis afternoon at 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Then I will have to let this Turkey rest for another hour to cool off. This is the (First Time) I have attempted to bake my own Thanksgiving Turkey in the oven. Usually my mother or father bakes this Thanksgiving Turkey at our home. Maybe next year, I will go eat to a Restaurant if Dining Inside their establishment is allowed due to the Covid-19 Virus. While my Turkey was baking in the oven, I decided to make the Side Dishes which was the Idahoan Instant Mashed Potatoes with Turkey Gravy, Kraft Stove Top Turkey Stuffing Mix and Annie's Organic White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese. Everything I ate today was really delicious and all the Side Dishes was very easy to make at home. Plus it saved me a lot of time in the preparation process. This year it wasn't in my budget to purchase a Thanksgiving Holiday Turkey with all the trimmings. I spoke to Pastor Johnny Rodriquez, he said he will pick up this Thanksgiving Holiday Meal Kit at a Food Pantry located at this Vista Church and then Pastor Johnny will drop off this (Thanksgiving Holiday Meal Kit) to my home on (Monday, November 24, 2020). It is wonderful to receive this Thanksgiving feast all I had to do is cook it in my home. After the Holiday Season is over, sometime in January 2021. I made the decision to do some volunteer work, it will be (once a month) and my job is to hand out (free meal kits to needy families) at this local Church in Vista, CA. I will also (write a review and take a lot of photos), when I do volunteer work for this Food Drive at this local Church in Vista, CA. Just so the public will know that Yelp Elite Reviewers are really good people and we do our best to help our local Community thrive. This Church will be sponsoring a Food Drive and their facility is primarily operated on Donations only from the public industry. I have always enjoyed helping people and I also feel that I am doing God's work. It's a great feeling!
