Fifth Week of Month

May, July and October have 5 Thursdays in 2008. On these days, we will meet with no purpose in mind other than to socialize and talk about whatever Urantia Book topics arise. It is meant to be a time when we can all get to know each other better and to explore whatever topics are timely and interesting to those present.

Upcoming Meetings:

October 30, 2008

January 29, 2009

Pamela Burr gave a beautiful account of her visit to the FSUB conference in Brandenton this weekend. She amassed quite a collection of pamphlets, booklets, and study material including a vintage Urantia Book no longer in print that includes an index, illustrations, list of differences between printings and much more--a real collector's item.

She brought back some valuable notes from various conversations and workshops she attended while there. We may use some of these in future meetings of the Jacksonville Study Group.

We did some brainstorming and planning for future meetings especially the Introduction to The Urantia Book presentation given on Week #4 of the month. We tentatively settled on a format that begins with questions answered by The Urantia Book, followed by the Ascent to Paradise slides, then choice quotes from the book and questions and answers. Joe will work something up as a starting point for the facilitators to fine tune and improve.
