<DIV><FONT size=4>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The Association for Light and Life wants to acknowledge some
of the groups and efforts that we have been working to support this
year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>The Urantia Book Fellowship</STRONG> has been working
to both bring the readership together while getting their message from the
revelation out to the world. We are pleased with some of the transitions
and have experience working with Paula Thompson who is a supportive and dynamic
presence at the Fellowship office, and ALL is excited to have both Robert Burns
and Susan Cook from the Fellowship planning to speak at our upcoming
gathering. Last year we did a lump sum donation to the Fellowship, and we
have recently approved an ongoing good faith grant to the Fellowship of $20
per month for book printing and distribution to be reviewed
annually. We are also exploring the possibility of a translations donation
to the Urantia Foundation, as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>The Harp of God Publishing</STRONG>, headed up by
Marty Greenhut and friends are in the midst of publishing Welmek's Lessons on
Prayer, which Rick Voss had gleaned from the lessons and submitted for
possible publication. Gerdean, Marty, and William Hayes have worked
together to edit, format, illustrate the cover, and get this to the
publisher. ALL has decided to offer them a matching funds grant, which
Harp will talk more about soon. We hope that those who can support this
project will aid in making it a reality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>Common Ground</STRONG> has put itself out on the road
with the music, poetry and creativity of various personalities, including
currently Mark Austin, Susan Wright Mogilka, Mark Turnbull, Cristina Seaborn,
Dave Holt, Bob Devine, and others. Their message is all about finding
peace, one heart at a time, through personal experience with God and the
recognition of the siblinghood of all the human family. Playing at
churches, coffeehouses, pubs, and universities, Common Ground has been on a
mission of goodwill and good cheer around the country. ALL has supported
the work of Common Ground with seed money for expenses this year, and hopes that
this mission can expand and grow to share the message with as many as
possible. Common Ground will perform at Unity Village this summer for the
conference, so we hope you can all enjoy the fruits of their labor along with
us.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>The gathering at Unity Village near Kansas City,
MO, June 7-10</STRONG>, has people coming from across the Urantia movement
and beyond. With about 60 people registered so far and a month to go, we
look forward to a wonderful weekend retreat with each other focused on service,
worship, and fellowship in a unity without uniformity atmosphere. Dolores
Nice and Jeanette Schafer from the Retreat Network will be leading a
retreat to kick things off, and then the weekend will branch from there to
explore various aspects of service. If people still want to register, they can
get information at <A

under the Events links. Or you can contact Eugenia, our host and logistics
chair, for information at <A

785-843-0113. Lodging rooms are becoming scarce, so decide soon. We
have a few people that might share a room, so contact Eugenia about that, as
well.</FONT></DIV>

time. You can contact ALL at <A

force far greater than the sum of our parts.</EM></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
