THE URANTIA BOOK STUDY GROUP began on Sunday, April 13^, and will meet for 3 more weeks in May on Sundays at 1:00-3:00 p.m.  This group is facilitated by Larry and Donna Whelan.  (Book available in our bookstore.).  “The Writings in the Urantia Book instruct us on the genesis, history, and destiny of humanity and our relationship with God the Father.  They present a unique and compelling portrayal of the life and teachings of Jesus.  They open new vistas of time and eternity to the human spirit, and offer new details of our ascending adventure in a friendly and carefully administered universe. The Urantia Book is not a “religion” per se.  It builds upon the religious heritages of past and present, encouraging a personal, living religious faith.”      -  The Urantia Foundation.

FROM THE BOOKSTORE:  Our featured book this month is A New Earth.  With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.”  In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world.  Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.
