SUNDAY SERVICE (Sunday 10 AM - November 8th)

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

This week Jennifer Utley was our host and Lee J. Howard was back playing with Marie Dunkle. Our speaker was Charlotte Starfire who shared the topic "Thinning of the Veils: Multicultural Spiritual Traditions for Honoring the Ancestors". She also brought us a Despacho; an altar which was loosely based on the teachings from the Quero in the highlands of Peru. She later burned the altar at home to honor her beloved. Many Wayfarers brought Pot Luck dishes in remembrance of loved ones who have crossed the veil. Catch up on any talks you may have missed here.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

ANNUAL MEETING REVIEW

Following our service last week, Jennifer Utley held our annual meeting. She recognized and thanked the existing Board members and announced the new Board for 2027 which will consist of Mark Frank, Linda Pupke, Charlotte Starfire, Jennifer Utley and Tonya Welch.

Wayfarers shares the blessings that we receive each year with local non-profits. This year the Board selected No Wrong Door in Macon County and Women of Worth in Rabun County. You can learn more about these organizations at these links No Wrong Door and Women of Worth.  Each organization will receive $1,000.

There will be a link on the Wayfarers website to a video of the meeting for anyone who couldn't attend.
