July 28 - August 3, 2025

CONCERT ON THE DECK

Sunday, August 3 (2-4 PM)

CICADA RHYTHM

In Concert

Cicada Rhythm returns to Wayfarers with their unique vocals, skilled guitar, and Juliard trained bass. Concert is slated for the chapel deck, so you may want to bring your favorite beverage and folding chair, and maybe a hat or sunglasses for the dappled shade. In the event of rain, the concert moves inside.

This concert is free and open to everyone. Your generous donations to support the musicians are encouraged.

THIS SUNDAY MORNING

SERVICE - Sunday, August 3 (10 AM)

This week, Jen Utley and Ruth Henry combine music and message with "Conversations on Joy."

POTLUCK - Sunday, August 3 (11 AM)

This Sunday is everyone's favorite - Potluck! So, bring your favorite shareable dish and join us for good food, friends, and conversation. No time to make something? No worries - there is always plenty to go around, so please do stay and visit a while.

COMING SOON

DRUM CIRCLE - Sunday, August 10 (6-8 PM)

Get ready for some serious fun as we let the rhythm send us sailing! Bring your own drum or use one of ours - plenty to go around. No experience required. See you soon!

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.

Last month, one of the folks who came for a session had been experiencing constant hip and knee pain. After the session, she said, "the pain is gone." Another participant whose body and mind were agitated prior to the session, indicated she was extremely calm after the session. Results vary, and reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment, but these experiences are fairly common for folks receiving reiki.

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)

WRITERS GROUP SPECIAL READING

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.

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)

Do you like to write? Or maybe THINK you might like it, but just can't seem to get motivated? We can help!

Every week the Wayfarers Writers Group shares their recent writings and then leaves with a subject "prompt" for writing to be shared the next week.

Please note, the group will not meet 8/19 and the 8/12 meeting is only for those participating in the 8/22 Reading Room (see article above).

LAST WEEK

Last Sunday was music by Sweet Charity and message by Marie Dunkle. Marie's message, "Seasons of Our Lives - How Might We Manage All the Changes", will be available online later this week.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"Joy is more than just a wonderful feeling or a transient emotion. It’s a choice you make for yourself every single day."

— Lydia Sweatt
