SUNDAY July 30th - FOUNDERS CELEBRATION and REDEDICATION of ROSEMARY'S CHAPEL It was a wonderfully FULL HOUSE with 65 in attendance! In addition to the "regulars", it was great to visit with many folks who were part of the chapel in the early days. |
|
After announcements and meditation, we enjoyed great old time music by Lisa and Filmer Kilby. |
|
Then, as Joyce Oliver gave us a brief history of the chapel. As she talked we passed the basket that held most of the names (as many as we could remember!) of Wayfarers past and present so that in the coming week we could think of, thank, and honor/pray for them. |
|
|
To close the program, we moved to RoseMary's Chapel where we circled through and around the chapel for blessing through song. |
|
As we filled our plates with wonderful food, we had the opportunity to watch the slideshow chronicling the first few decades of Wayfarers history. Then it was back to the main chapel deck for sharing laughs, love, and stories as we ate together on the deck. |
|
Thank you to all who have helped create this wonderful loving space. And Special Thanks to the wonderful team that made this celebration such a success: Bob, Mereta, Linda, Anitta, Cindy, and Joyce. |
