HISTORIC SOCIAL WITH THE FELLOWSHIP,
Urantia FOUNDATION AND LOCAL READERS

RMSF Potluck Dinner at the University of Colorado Fiske Planetarium

An exciting and enjoyable social meeting took place on April 14th, in Boulder, CO with the Executive Committee of the Fellowship and the all the Foundation Trustees, Associate Trustees and Trustees Emeritus, along with the readers in the Denver/Boulder area.

The opportunity became available when the Fellowship's EC was invited by the Rocky Mountain Spiritual Fellowship to a large social event at the University of Colorado's Fiske Planetarium to meet and socialize with local readers during our quarterly executive meeting. Urantia Foundation Trustees and Associate Trustees were meeting at Mo Siegel's home on the same weekend. For the first time in many years the Trustees and Executive Committee members were able to socialize together with readers. Food and refreshments were served just outside the Planetarium with close to 200 in attendance. A private presentation by RMSF members in the Planetarium showed where we reside within the Milky Way Galaxy.

Nearly 200 readers attended the gathering.

Before the Planetarium presentation began, Rocky Mountain Spiritual Fellowship president, Lenny Cowles, introduced Robert Burns, president of The Urantia Book Fellowship, and Seppo Kanerva, president of Urantia Foundation. Robert then introduced Patricia Mundelius, Trustee Emeritus and granddaughter of Dr. William S. Sadler and daughter of Bill Sadler, Jr. Later in the evening a more private social took place at Mo and Jennifer Siegel's home for the members of the Fellowship's Executive Committee and Urantia Foundation's Trustees and Associates. This gave all a chance to renew old acquaintances and meet new members in the context of preparing to discuss a variety of possible cooperative and joint projects between the two organizations.

Seppo Kanerva requested that the Fellowship submit ideas for cooperative work.  The Executive Committee is actively working through ideas that we will present soon, as well as projects that would be probable in the future. Stay tuned.

The Fellowship's Executive Committee in session,
Boulder, April 2007

We all have an infinitely rich Father, in whom there is no limit to that which is good, true or beautiful. Nothing is denied us when our will is aligned with Divine Will. There is no limit to mercy if we have but even a remote chance of accepting such grace. Nor does our Father limit what we can accomplish in pursuit of our Eternal destination. In partnership with God, all things are possible. Our only real limitation is in our inability to conceive what is possible, or to have the faith required for its attainment. Let us all dream big for the revelation to our planet, let's have the faith of the Sons of God that we are, and the determination to individually and collectively do our Father's Will.

It is an honor to be of service to you all,

Robert Burns
President, The Urantia Book Fellowship

2008 Fellowship International Conference
The Thrill of Loving Service

“If you would share the Master's joy, you must share his love. And to share his love means that you have shared his service. Such an experience of love does not deliver you from the difficulties of this world; it does not create a new world, but it most certainly does make the old world new.” P.1945 - §2/ 180:1.5.

Come and let us make this old world new and find the “Thrill of Loving Service” in our own lives. Would you consider studying and experiencing the topic of “Service” for a workshop at the upcoming 2008 International Conference?
