INVITING VOLUNTEERS FOR

OUR HOLIDAY CELEBRATION SERVICE

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION (Sunday 12/22 @ 10 AM)

On December 22, the Sunday before Christmas, our Wayfarers Chapel tradition is to have a service of holiday music and special readings presented by members of our Wayfarers family. Would you enjoy sharing a short reading or performing a special music piece that Sunday morning? If so, please contact our Celebration Service coordinators, Katharine Brown and Marie Dunkle by DECEMBER 7.


If music is your thing, call Katharine at 828-421-4178.  (She can even find someone to accompany you, if you like.) To share a holiday poem, short story, or special reading, contact Marie Dunkle at 770-335-0967

THIS WEEK

SUNDAY SERVICE ( 12/8 @ 10 AM )

Our service this Sunday will include music by Sweet Charity. Our message "Living the Given Life" will be shared by Dr. Maggie Renken. She will explore recent advances in artificial intelligence and how the risks and opportunities it presents relate to humanity, especially with regard to potential futures that extend Wayfarers' core values of love, gratitude, health, service, and inclusion.


MEDITATION GROUP - Mondays ( Time Change )

Experienced meditation leaders guide us weekly, introducing forms and approaches to support, build, and deepen meditation practice. Sessions are held in the peaceful setting of our Rosemary's Chapel building, are open to the public, and no experience is necessary.

Beginning Monday, 12/9, the group will meet at 5 PM.


WRITERS GROUP

The Writers Group will be in a closed session 12/2 rehearsing for "The Reading Room." Regular open group meeting will resume 12/10.


THE READING ROOM (Friday 12/13 from 6:30-8:30 PM)

Join the Wayfarers Writers Group on Friday, December 13 from 6:30-8:30 PM as The Reading Room is open! Members of the writers group will be sharing selected works. There will be a refreshment break in the middle.


WAYFARERS CHRISTMAS PARTY (Sunday 12/15 from 3-6 PM)

Christmas Party at the home of Marie Dunkle and Barbara Beckham – Potluck with "ornament exchange". More details closer to the date, but for now start looking for that perfect ornament for the ornament exchange!


CELTIC HOLIDAY CÉILÍ (Thursday 12/19 from 6-9 PM)

Looking for a little holiday spirit? Join the fun at the Otto Community Center on Thursday 12/19 as musicians blend their voices and instruments on their favorite holiday songs (many of them Celtic in origin) ... and maybe there will even be a reading or two and some dancers. There is no charge for the event. Love offerings are accepted. Full details available on flyer by main door at the chapel.

SPIRITUAL ECONOMICS CLASS

Rev. Dr. Kate Greysen, RScP, is offering a course in Spiritual Economics beginning December 30th for eight Mondays. The class will meet from 6 PM - 8:30 PM. In this empowering course, students will acquire practical knowledge and tools to effectively apply the fundamental metaphysical principles that shape financial well-being. For more details about the course, you can use this link: https://cslasheville.org/event/spiritual-economics/2024-12-30/
