NEXT UP

BOARD MEETING - Tuesday, August 19 (10:30 AM)

The Board will meet Tuesday, August 19th at 10:30 am in the main chapel. All Wayfarers are welcome to attend.

REIKI - Wednesday, August 20 (4-6 PM)

Reiki is an energy technique - prayer in action you might say - that works equally well for emotional, spiritual, and physical issues. These short (10-20 min.) sessions are an AMAZING way to relax and rejuvenate and are suitable for everyone. Sessions are free and open to everyone - you, your neighbor, the guy you met at the grocery store - everyone! Donations to support the chapel are welcome.

THE READING ROOM - Friday, August 22 (6:30-8:30 PM)

Multiple writers from the Wayfarers Writing Group will be presenting their original works on August 22 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Each writer expresses their independent and unique voice through creative stories or poetry. The diversity of our community rises from the sharing. We will have a refreshment break about halfway through the event. Guests are invited to connect with the writers at the conclusion. Please bring your open hearts to this open sharing.

SERVICE - Sunday, August 24 (10 AM)

This Sunday music is by Katharine Brown and John Howarth.

Kim May's message is "Which Path Are You Choosing?"

Refreshments and visiting immediately after the service.

BOARD ANNOUNCEMENT

BOARD ELECTIONS

Wayfarers Chapel is guided by a five member board with rotating terms. The board handles the day-to-day operations (i.e. keeping the lights on and ensuring we have speakers and musicians each week, etc.) and provides guidance on the direction of the chapel (i.e. creation of programs to support our members, capital projects like sidewalks and parking, etc.). The board typically meets for a few hours every two or three months - sometimes a little extra if there are special projects in play.

Board members are elected by the membership for two-year terms on a rotating basis, so every year is a new opportunity. Elections (or affirmations) are held at the annual meeting (Nov. 2nd this year). The next board term begins January 1, 2026.

If you are interested in (or even curious about!) supporting the chapel by serving on the board, please contact one of the current board members. You can connect with them at chapel, or by using their contact information found near the bottom of this newsletter.

WEEKLY EVENTS

MEDITATION - Mondays (5-6 PM)

The meditation hour follows a basic format

Arrive quietly
Introductions, if new faces
Meditation followed by brief discussion about the meditation experience
5 minute closing silent meditation

It is a bit like our Sunday Services in that the meditation leader and type of meditation changes each week. This format offers wonderful experiences for both seasoned and novice meditators. Everyone is welcome!

WRITERS GROUP - Tuesdays (5-6:30 PM)

No meeting this week -- See you Friday 8/22 for The Reading Room!

LAST WEEK

Last Sunday we enjoyed the music of Jeff and Alycia Willson and message by Sonjan. Sonjan's message was What Are You Here For? What’s your purpose? What draws you? Both music and message are available online.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path."

– Joseph Campbell
