Fellowship General Council
Dear Friends,
There are two "short" seats open on the Fellowship's general council, in case
anyone wishes to join our own Douglas Burns on that deliberative body.
And since I have your eyes, a quick reminder to join us for our first Golden
Gate Circle Community meeting this Saturday at 11:30am! Zoom details will
arrive magically in your inbox later this week.
XOX, Madame Mich

| Dear Fellowship Member, Are you interested in serving as a movement leader
on the Fellowship’s General Council? There is a lot of work to be done and we
are very busy. If you want to help us execute our purpose and mission to
support individual spiritual growth and connect people together as brothers and
sisters to share the truths of The Urantia Book, we need your help. We are
trying many new approaches and are getting more focused on this new purpose and
mission. One approach is the new Stepping Stones Program that is creating a
website experience for people unfamiliar with The Urantia Book. The idea is
that site visitors can be introduced to ideas in The Urantia Book and perhaps
start actually reading the book. But if not, the concepts can give them
something that will help their spiritual journey in even a small way. We know
there are many readers with new ideas who can help us make a difference in the
lives of many people who have not yet found The Urantia Book. If you are
interested, please read the information below about the GC and our hopes for
team members. We need your help. Join us and let’s get creative! The 36-member
General Council (GC) is a deliberative body which guides the overall direction
of The Urantia Book Fellowship. This includes electing five officers and three
service team chairs, which make up the Executive Committee. The GC also elects
chairs of the nine departmental committees and approves departmental committee
members. The GC also has the power to change the Fellowship's constitution and
by-laws. Two Councilor vacancies currently exist. Elections to temporarily
fill these vacancies will be held in February or March 2021. If you are
interested in applying, the official application form will be available on the
Fellowship’s website in early January 2021. These two vacancies, if filled,
will only be effective until July or August 2021. Then the Triennial Delegate
Assembly (TDA) will elect successors to serve the remainder of all terms which
have become vacant since the previous TDA, as well as elect or re-elect twelve
Councilors whose nine-year terms will then be ending. You can apply for one of
these longer term Councilor positions at that time. Being on the Fellowship’s
General Council is an amazing experience. Some Councilors have served multiple
nine-year terms. Lifelong friendships are established and the beauties of
deliberation, group wisdom, and teamwork are illuminated in remarkable and
inspiring ways. Contact the Fellowship office if you have any questions: Phone:
303-467-7858 EmailFellowship@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Below is a list of the Fellowship

teamwork of all Orvonton. One of the most important lessons to be learned
during your mortal career is teamwork. The spheres of perfection are manned by
those who have mastered this art of working with other beings. Few are the
duties in the universe for the lone servant. The higher you ascend, the more
lonely you become when temporarily without the association of your fellows.”

Thanks in advance for your consideration and your willingness to serve!
81:6.37 13. Effective and wise leadership. In civilization much, very much,
depends on an enthusiastic and effective load-pulling spirit. Ten men are of
little more value than one in lifting a great load unless they lift
together—all at the same moment. 180:1.5 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. |
