FALL STUDY 2009
The Personal, Private, and Living Revelation of Jesus

September 25-27 ∙ Chesterton, Indiana

Greetings to all members and friends of
Greater Lake Michigan Urantia Association,

Our 3rd annual fall study session is over but the feeling lives on.  The CLP meeting on Friday went well and the attendance
was better than we thought it would be due to last minute arrivals.  They accomplished several things; one was the creation of an ad hoc committee to improve communication among members and the creation of a standing UAUS
Study Group Committee.  Even in this day of email,
instant messaging, and free long distance, you just cannot replace live and in person meetings to make things happen.
  The CLP was very appreciative of the facilities and the services we set up for them.  By the way, they are now
looking for a study group committee chairperson and
committee members as well as an education committee chairperson.  If you are interested in serving, please
let me know.   

The Friday evening social was a boisterous affair as long
time friends met new friends and carried on like a group of siblings who hadn’t seen each other in a while.  I guess that’s exactly what it was!  We had brothers and sisters from
New York and California and Washington State to Texas
to Florida.  There were 40 people attending which was
more than twice from last year.  

Saturday was our first study day with five study sessions.  
We invited the guests to participate and boy did they!!!  
The sharing of our personal relationships with Jesus was
very moving and informative.  The socializing and personal sharing caused our schedule to stretch a bit but we let the program flow and let everyone participate.  Thanks to all
our facilitators and guests for making our event a success.  
A very special thanks to all the Thought Adjusters and our spiritual brethren for joining us and creating a warm and
loving atmosphere of spiritual brotherhood.  

There certainly was a spiritual presence in and around us.  
I could spend days and pages trying to tell you about the
feeling and atmosphere but really – you just had to be there
to experience it.  Watch our website: www.urantiausa-glmua.org for more info soon.  See you next year!

Rick Lyon

P.1463 - §7 [Jesus said] "And so, my friend, if you would be a faithful and just steward of your large fortune, before God and in service to men, you must approximately divide your wealth into these ten grand divisions, and then proceed to administer each portion in accordance with the wise and honest interpretation of the laws of justice, equity, fairness, and true efficiency; albeit, the God of heaven would not condemn you if sometimes you erred, in doubtful situations, on the side of merciful and unselfish regard for the distress of the suffering victims of the unfortunate circumstances of mortal life. When in honest doubt about the equity and  justice of material situations, let your decisions favor those who are in need, favor those who suffer the misfortune of undeserved hardships."
