The Birthday of Jesus in Belgium
The small Belgian Lecteurs Belges du Livre d’URANTIA (LBLU) team gathered on Sunday, August 23, to celebrate the birth and life of our beloved Master, Father, brother, and friend, Michael/Jesus.
We were blessed with beautiful weather and an equally joyful spirit. We shared refreshments and a meal together in the awareness of Jesus’ presence, remembering his remarkable bestowal as Michael, the divine Son who incarnated in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth to reveal the Father and to complete his sovereignty over Nebadon. We felt deep gratitude for his coming, for his message, and for the Spirit of Truth that lives within each of us.
After enjoying time together, we read Paper 120, which recounts Immanuel’s counsel to Michael as he prepared to depart on his seventh bestowal. Because this section of The Urantia Book is perhaps read less often, it was a discovery for some and a meaningful rediscovery for others.
We then shared our plans for a small tour of Belgium, taking part in book fairs and visiting libraries where we hope to meet people, speak about The Urantia Book and our own experiences, and offer workshops and presentations.
This new adventure will begin with an “Open House” weekend in Mettet, where the association is based. The program will include presentations, workshops, podcasts, videos, a children’s story, meditative music, and more.
Everyone responded with great enthusiasm. Energized by this shared project and a renewed sense of fellowship, we said goodbye knowing that we would soon meet again. We also felt that we are planting seeds that will help LBLU grow—not only, perhaps, in numbers, but also through the richness of fellowship expressed in loving service.
Fraternally,
LBLU
