SUNDAY AT THE CHAPEL Live Sunday morning services remain on hiatus during the pandemic, but our wonderful speakers continue to deliver their messages which we video record for the website.
Dr. Katie Davis is our scheduled speaker for May 24. Her talk is titled ”Ubuntu Theology: Community and Corona Virus”. Dr. Katie’s talks are always thoughtfully prepared and delivered from her own lifetime of learning. She divides her time between Lawrenceville, GA and here in the mountains, so we are always grateful when she makes time for Wayfarers. The videos of the Sunday talks are generally posted on www.wayfarersunity.org within a few days of recording. |

FOLLOWUP TO DEE'S TALK LAST WEEK In Dee's talk this past week, she mentioned that rather than watching TV during this time, they watch YouTube. One of their favorites is a 6 hour video of sheep grazing in Napa Valley, CA, just going about their day - totally unaware of the world wide pandemic. You can enjoy the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrKkchVOOAs&feature=youtu.be |

OPELSKE TEAM A big thanks to the entire Opelske team for all the fabulous work this past month. In addition to recent group activity, several team members have been adding that little something extra. The roses are blooming nicely thanks to Bob & Mereta Alspaugh's regular tending. Bob cleaned out the roof gutters and downspouts. Bruce Rosendahl has spent hours trimming and clearing the walkways and parking lots. And Bruce, Dave Stearns, Sandy Thomas, and Joyce Oliver are putting extra time cleaning, reorganizing, and critter-proofing the storage area under the chapel. In short, lots of work, energy and love are keeping our chapel grounds vibrant and ready for our return. Thanks again for prioritizing our chapel's needs as a way to put your love in action. |

CLOSING THOUGHTS Mimi is “taking a few weeks of hiatus in order to complete some personal business.” So, for the next few weeks we will dearly miss her heartfelt messages, and look forward to her return. In the meantime, please enjoy the Daily Word for Saturday May 16, 2020 I boldly explore new paths. As I walk in the footsteps of those who have lived before me – explorers, innovators, and servicemen and servicewomen to name a few – I give thanks for their daring and bravery. Their courage to take risks and blaze new trails inspires me to rise to challenges that will push my boundaries and expand my world. If I find myself hesitating, I acknowledge my fear as I resolve to push past it. The strength and power of God expresses powerfully as me. I am bold in my exploration of every aspect of my being. I ask tough questions and listen to the wisdom of my heart. I draw upon my power of zeal to express myself and confidently walk new paths. In each new circumstance, I reach within to call forth even more. I have more to give and more to live. I live boldly! Be strong and bold – I will be with you. |
