February 24 - March 2, 2025

THIS WEEK

SUNDAY SERVICE (3/2 @ 10 AM) & Potluck

Lisa Ezzard will be our musician this Sunday, and Marie Dunkle will be our speaker. Her message title is "Am I Being the Person My Dog Thinks I Am?" This is secretly a talk about self-love - but don't tell Marie's dogs!

It's Potluck Sunday! Please join us. There is always plenty of food for everyone if you can't make it to the store to bring something.

MEDITATION GROUP - Mondays @ 5 PM

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.

WRITERS GROUP - Tuesdays from 5-6:30 PM

The Wayfarers Writers Group resumes this Tuesday, January 7th! This is a great opportunity to hone your writing skills, get ideas from the works of others, and hear supportive feedback on your own work. Everyone is welcome. Group meets in Rosemary's Chapel.

MANNA FOOD BANK

Every year Wayfarers Chapel donates money in support of local charities. In 2024 we donated $1000 to two charities. Both organizations were very grateful and gracious. The board thought that you might like to hear a little bit more about the organizations. Today we will be highlighting Manna Food Bank.

Manna (Mountain Area Nutritional Needs Alliance) Food Bank has been serving

Western North Carolina since 1983. They are a member of Feeding America, the nations largest hunger relief organization. They partner with a network of some 225 partner agencies across their 6,343 mile service area to help people experiencing hunger and food insecurity.

We are all aware of the massive devastation caused by Hurricane Helene last

September. Manna Food Bank essentially lost everything except their fleet of trucks which were able to be moved to safety.

Please see this handout (which will be available in the chapel for the next couple weeks as well) which provides more information about the organization and how they have been moving forward since the hurricane. Please visit their website,

mannafoodbank.org to learn more.

POETRY WORKSHOP by SAM RENKEN

Sam Renken is facilitating a poetry workshop at the Hambidge Center in Rabun Gap on Saturday, March 22nd, from 10 AM to 1 PM. Sam is the Founder of our Writer's Group, which meets on Tuesday evenings. He has read his poetry at the chapel for Sunday services and at the quarterly Writer's Group Reading Room.

LAST WEEK

This past Sunday we enjoyed the the music of Ruth Henry. Our talk was "We Have Arrived" by Kim May.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

No other love, no matter how genuine it is,

can fulfill one’s heart better than unconditional self-love.

― Edmond Mbiaka
