| LAST SUNDAY AT THE CHAPEL | | YES! YES! YES! Another beautiful day at Wayfarers - sunny skies and cool temps for our Founders Day celebration. And beauty still abounds on the grounds of Wayfarers. | | After announcements and a meditation led by Anne Kirslis, Ruth Henry took us on a musical journey from "Moments" - a gentle celebration of living in and appreciating the now - to an acapella bluesy, soulful then totally hopping version of "I'll Fly Away", to an instant meditation thru her qilaut (her Inuit wind drum), and ending with a whistling piece going straight to the soul. Joyce Oliver led us in celebration of this beautiful chapel we call home with stories of how it was envisioned by Rose-Mary Hatfield, brought into existence by Rose-Mary Hatfield and Ron Lindahn, and nurtured and expanded thru the years by the many who have called this space home. We each brought home with us the names of members thru the years to bless, honor, thank, and celebrate their contributions to this beautiful chapel in the woods. Teresa Weiser, one of the earliest members, also shared some of her memories of the chapel, it's family, and it's growth as well as some of her favorite memories of the "small but mighty" Rose-Mary Hatfield. One of her favorite memories was Rose-Mary once telling her "Christ never meant for us to be spiritual wimps". The music and talk will be available on the website soon. | | THIS SUNDAY AT THE CHAPEL – SEPTEMBER 27th In keeping with the CDC recommendations, safety precautions remain in effect for all gatherings at the chapel including 6' social distancing and wearing masks. (Hand sanitizer and masks are available at the table at the entrance.) In order to ensure the 6' distance between persons of different households, RSVPs are required for Sunday services.

Then consider joining Jan Brewer October 11th from 2-4 pm on the deck of the chapel to talk about/plan for death. After all, we plan for and talk about births, graduations, weddings, homeownership, etc. Why not talk about/plan for death? Death Cafe is an international movement in which people typically meet, drink tea, eat cake, and discuss death with only one agenda: Be an open and straightforward discussion space to talk about death with no intention to any conclusion, product, or course of action. Due to the need to wear masks in gatherings at this time, food and drink will not be served. For more information please see www.deathcafe.com or contact Jan Brewer at 510.684.5555. This outside event will be canceled if it rains. RSVPs are not required, however, if you wish to be notified of cancellation due to weather, please text your RSVP to Jan at 510.684.5555. | | PRAYER GROUP The Wayfarers Prayer Group is available to hold you, a friend, or loved one in affirmative prayer in time of need.
