SPECIAL WEATHER ALERT

With snow and ice likely this weekend please be on the lookout for a News Flash Saturday or early Sunday morning. If there is a problem at the chapel or roads are really unsafe, we may choose to cancel the service.

THIS WEEK

SUNDAY SERVICE (1/12 @ 10 AM)

This Sunday, we look forward to the music by Marley Turpin and message by Rev. Dr. Kate Greysen. Kate's message, Spirituality in Balance, takes a look at what happens when we are out of step with the Divine. -- Refreshments and visitation immediately following service.


Please note, if the chapel is open but Dr. Kate is unable to make it across the mountains, we will enjoy another of our wonderful Discussion Sundays.


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.


DRUMMING CIRCLE (Sunday 1/12 from 6-8 PM)

Our next Drumming Circle will be Sunday, January 12, from 6-8 PM just before the full moon. It will be inside the main chapel. Whether you're a professional drummer or just need to bang on something for therapeutic reasons, you are welcome at our Drum Circle. No drum? No problem. Enjoy experimenting with one of our many percussion instruments. See you on January 12th.

REMINDER

The 12/22/24 Christmas Celebration service will not be posted due to copyrighted materials; however, it is available for viewing (or download) using the following 2024 Wayfarers Christmas Celebration link through January 31, 2025.

LAST WEEK

Last Sunday we enjoyed cello music by Marie Dunkle and Ruth Henry's interactive message on Resolutions. Follow this link for a copy of the Resolutions Worksheet that accompanies the talk. -- And as mentioned in the message, please check out Carrie Newcomer's Blog on New Year's Revolutions (rather than Resolutions!). WELL worth the read. -- Music and Talk should be available online by Wednesday.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

“Spiritual balance is the obvious answer to the obsession that accompanies religious practice, occult practice, philosophical understandings the assertion that one is right  that something you're doing is better than something somebody else is doing, the way you are doing it is better than the way someone else is doing it.”


 Robert Sapolsky
