LAST WEEK AT THE CHAPEL

Cindy Miles provided fabulous pre-service music at the keyboard. Then dressed in full regalia to celebrate El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), Tom Tyre, Katharine Brown, Cindy Miles, and Nate Anderson blessed us with their wonderful musical talents. Tom then gave us an overview of the history - ancient and modern - of the November 1st holiday as well as insight into research about near-death experiences and what it may tell us about life as well as death.

Tom's talk will be available online in a few days at https://wayfarersunity.org/wayfarers-unity-sunday-talks.html

 

SUNDAY SERVICE - NOVEMBER 8th

What is the difference between knowing a thing, and being the thing that you know?Rev. Kate Grayson will be sharing her thoughts on this important subject with us Sunday.


Music will be provided by Chris Casses.


Marie Dunkle will be our host.


Remember ... Services are now indoors. RSVPs still required. Bring a coat, scarf, or shawl as fans will be blowing and doors will be open unless it is extremely cold outside or rain is blowing in.


We have maxed out the seating for the chapel so there is virtually no wiggle room so please leave chairs in place so that we can continue to ensure 6' separation for members of different households.


Please enter thru front door and exit thru deck doors. Tempting though it may be, try not to congregate near the doors. Please continue to observe 6' spacing and the wearing of face masks. Hand sanitizer and masks are available at the front door.


RSVP HERE with the names of those requesting attendance and whether they are sitting solo or together.

 

ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

The Annual Membership Meeting will be held immediately following the morning service.


The meeting will review the highlights and activities of the last year, plans for the future, and our current financial status. The four new members of the Board of Directors will also be introduced and affirmed during the meeting.

 

HEAL OUR NATION MEDITATION - TUESDAY 11/3

Skip the hours of election result anxiety in front of the TV and instead create a space of peace for yourself and others Tuesday evening.


Our friends Rev. Randy Doster and Rev. Mark Stein from The Mediation Center in Sylva, NC are holding a "Heal Our Nation Meditation" on November 3rd at 7 pm EST. The meditation is focused on re-establishing an energy of kindness, compassion, concern, and oneness for each other and our nation, regardless of our personal philosophies.


Information, registration, and donation links for this Zoom Meditation can be found HERE.

 

GROUNDS PROJECTS

The dying Hemlock on the creek bank was removed this week to prevent potential damage to Rosemary's Chapel or the main chapel/deck. While we miss its lovely greenery and shade, we welcome the additional light in both chapels. We honor the cycle of life, death, and life again and look forward to discovering the new plants that will thrive in the additional sunlight.


The seawall restoration is scheduled for this coming weekend.
