Subject: Wayfarers ❤️ Newsletter Sept 5-11, 2022

Welcome to the

Wayfarers Unity Chapel

Newsletter for Sept 5 - 11, 2022

THIS WEEK

SUNDAY SERVICE - 10 AM

Joyce Oliver will lead our Founders' Day Celebration accompanied by music from Chris Casses, Katharine Brown, and Joyce Oliver.


Immediately following service, there will be a ceremony on the deck to honor those no longer physically with us. (There will be no coffee hour this Sunday.)


REIKI - WEDNESDAY 9/14 from 4-6 PM

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing that treats the whole person - body, emotions, mind, and spirit -  creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being and works in conjunction with other medical therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.


Feeling tired, down, stressed out? (or know someone who is?!) - Or maybe feeling good and want to feel even better - more connected and centered? REIKI is the perfect option.


Join us Wednesday 9/14 from 4-6 PM in the main chapel for REIKI sessions. The sessions are free. Love offerings are accepted.

COMING SOON !

SATURDAY - 9/17 ( NEW DATE ! ) - METAPHYSICAL PICNIC - 1-4 PM

The weather may have changed the date (from the 10th) to the 17th, but the fun and fellowship will be the same. So grab a sharable dish, maybe a yard game or two, and your favorite non-alcoholic beverage and join the fun at the Annual Metaphysical Picnic at Western Carolina University Picnic Pavillion in Cullowhee, NC. The full event details and directions are available HERE.


SUNDAY - 9/18 - CICADA RHYTHM - Concert on the Deck

Get ready for a fresh, unique take on folk music. Combine a Juliard trained bassest with guitar picking honed in Atlanta's dive bars - add in some amazing harmonies - and you have yourself one great musical afternoon.


So grab your lawn chair, favorite beverage, and dancing shoes and join us on the deck Sunday 9/18 at 2 PM for our last concert of the season with Georgia born and raised Cicada Rhythm. We love the dappled shade of the deck, but if it rains, no worries, we'll just move inside!


A $5 donation to support the musicians is recommended.

BOARD NOMINATIONS

SEEKING NOMINEES for BOARD OF DIRECTORS!

Our Board of Directors works diligently to ensure all Wayfarers experience excellent speakers & musicians and positive experiences such as Potlucks, Coffee Hour, REIKI sessions, and the concert series to feed bodies and soul -- all in a safe, well-maintained environment. These are the folks who make the decisions about the direction of the chapel and the day-to-day operation.


New Board Members will begin serving 1/1/2023.


Every Wayfarer is eligible to nominate themselves or another Wayfarer to serve on the Board. Please do not assume that since you mentioned a possible nominee to someone 6 or 7 months ago that that was enough. Sad to say, but sometimes memories take a vacation. SO, think about who you would like to see serving on the board and nominate them by CLICKING HERE or by contacting one of the current Board Members.

LAST WEEK

ACOUSTIC EIDOLON CONCERT

We enjoyed yet another fabulous concert with Acoustic Eidolon this past Saturday. We look forward to bringing them back in June or September of 2023 so keep a look out in the newsletter!


SUNDAY SERVICE - 10 AM

Norman Olsen provided our music and Marie Dunkle shared our Labor Day message.

WEBSITE UPDATE

We are transitioning our website from one provider to another and have run into a little hiccup which we hope will be resolved soon. We will begin posting videos again as soon as the transition is complete.


Please note, the CALENDAR on the website is current.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

 "There are two ways of spreading light:

to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
