The Remembrance Supper 2024
What a show of solidarity and unity it would be for us and to our celestial family looking down on the small World of the Cross!
The Remembrance Supper 2024
A Worldwide Rendezvous with the Master
On the evening of April 6, A.D. 30, Jesus instituted a communal supper with his twelve apostles in the upper room of a friend, and asked that they celebrate this supper in remembrance of him as often as they wished. This supper came to be known as The Remembrance Supper and is “the only ceremony or sacrament associated with his whole life mission” on Urantia. 179.5:4
About this Remembrance Supper, a Melchizedek wrote:
"Jesus did not require of his followers that they should periodically assemble and recite a form of words indicative of their common beliefs. He only ordained that they should gather together to actually do something—partake of the communal supper of the remembrance of his bestowal life on Urantia." 99:5.10
Many Urantia Book students regularly and periodically celebrate this Remembrance Supper when they gather together. But what if all readers around the world simultaneously or even asynchronously commemorated the Remembrance Supper as a united ‘Urantia Family’ on or around the evening of the anniversary of this occasion?! What a show of solidarity and unity it would be for us and to our celestial family looking down on the small World of the Cross! And what if our annual commemoration of the Remembrance Supper became a tradition?!
Let’s unite our community together as one voice in remembrance of our Sovereign Master Son, Christ Michael of Nebadon. Let’s show him that we are taking his teachings to heart, that we deeply appreciate the life in the flesh he lived here as Jesus of Nazareth, and that we are basking in this new dispensation of liberty and grace.
People have been gathering together in ever-growing numbers for decades to rendezvous with the Master on April 6th. You are warmly invited to join in the celebration on that Saturday by getting together in a small intimate group to celebrate the Remembrance Supper as a worldwide family.
OR: Join one of the Zoom Rooms that will be set up in English, Spanish and French for those who do not have family or friends with whom to celebrate so that you, too, can share in the celebration.
The Center for Unity will host a global Remembrance Supper at the following time:
20:00 IDT (GMT/UTC+3) / 1:00 p.m. EDT / 10:00 a.m. PDT
