Feast for the Birth of Jesus in Belgium
On Saturday, August 23, about fifteen people from the Belgian association Urantia gathered to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This meeting was special in that it was no longer held in the usual place, but above all that it was guided by the new president of the Association, Martine Rouart. The latter took the opportunity to give the first changes of its presidency (new website, new Face Book page, new name of the association, etc.). Previously ABFU (Association Francophone Belge d’Urantia), it became LBLU (Les Lecteurs Belges du livre d’Urantia). The new board now meets every 3 weeks and gives a new dynamic to the association.
In the group of 15 people present were old and new members and it was touching to note that, regardless of how long we belonged to the reading groups, it was the same fervor and the same love of Jesus and the Father that brought us together. Martine offered us inspiring readings followed by deep meditations that united us all deeply. The meal in the style of “Spanish Inn” was as usual rich and varied and we were therefore able to share this material and spiritual food in all fraternity.
Here is the testimony of a participant:
This Saturday, August 23, 2025, we were warmly welcomed by Françoise who opened her space to us to share Jesus’ birthday party. We shared a convivial and very pleasant meal. After very enriching exchanges, Martine gave us a lot of information about LBLU. We had the pleasure of seeing old members of the band again that we hadn’t seen for a long time, with the feeling that we had left each other the day before. We experienced a beautiful meeting in a bucolic and peaceful place, offering a magnificent view and in a fraternal atmosphere that warmed our hearts and souls.
