A quick look at upcoming events and

what's happening at the chapel this week

SUNDAY SERVICE

Last Sunday (8/15), our music was provided by Andy LaTorre, Tom Tyre, and Katharine Brown. Tom's talk "We have met the enemy and he is us," will be available online later this week at Sunday Talks.


This Sunday (8/22), our music will be provided by Marie Dunkle, Katharine Brown, and Chris Cassis.


This Sunday is also Discussion Sunday. Here at Wayfarers, our core values are "Inclusion, Love, Gratitude, Health, and Service." This week we examine together what it means to be "inclusive."


Reminders for All Indoor Gatherings at Wayfarers


Masks are required indoors.

Masks and Hand Sanitizer are available by entry doors.

Please keep access to front and back doorways clear. The back deck is a great place to hang out or visit with friends.


Single and Double Seating are spaced 3' apart.

If you prefer 6' spacing, please contact info@wayfarersunity.org prior to arrival.


Please note, speakers and singers will not be wearing masks during their talks and performances. If you have concerns about potential exposure, please feel free to take one of the seats farther back in the chapel or enjoy the talks on-line.


Wednesday 8/18 - YOGA ON THE DECK - 5:15 PM

Grab your mat, block, and blanket (for a little extra cush), and join us on the deck for gentle yoga led by Dana Thiele. Suitable for new and experienced practitioners, this is a great way to clear your mind and limber up your body. Class is offered on a "love offering" basis. Since FRED is dumping a good bit of rain on the area at present, please check the weather in Dillard before heading to the chapel since these outside classes are canceled in the event of rain. For further information, please contact Dana Thiele at (706) 982-1297.

Sunday 8/22 - CICADA RHYTHM - 2 PM Concert On The Deck

Grab your friends and some comfy chairs and join in the fun with a great concert featuring Cicada Rhythm this Sunday afternoon at 2 PM on the deck. With everything from upbeat acoustic folk with a Southern swing to powerfully atmospheric indie rock, the return of acoustic duo Cicada Rhythm promises a "feel good" afternoon.


Masks and hand sanitizer are provided at the entry to the deck. Given the current high rate of COVID transmission in our area, masks are optional but recommended on the deck.


Please note, right now the weather looks good for Sunday, but if at the last minute the rain comes calling, the concert will move indoors where masks are required and seating is limited.

9/11 - ACOUSTIC EIDOLON - 7 PM

Have you purchased your ticket yet? Tickets are on sale now for the wonderful duo Acoustic Eidolon and this concert always sells out so tell your friends, mark your calendar, and get your tickets ($25) early by contacting Ruth Henry at 901.218.4234 or qilautheartsong@gmail.com. If you haven't heard them before, do yourself a favor and check out their youtube videos such as this one.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

Each human being, however small or weak, has something to bring to humanity. As we start to really get to know others, as we begin to listen to each other's stories, things begin to change. We begin the movement from exclusion to inclusion, from fear to trust, from closeness to openness, from judgment and prejudice to forgiveness and understanding. It is a movement of the heart.

-- Jean Vanier
