CherubiMail
Children love to receive mail.
​
So, CherubiMail sends Urantia-based activity pages to children through the mail. Each page includes a picture to color, a reading recommendation, and discussion questions for parental engagement. This is a free subscription for kids that runs from September through May. ​
CherubiMail is funded by Wisconsin Society and Greater Lake Michigan Urantia Association (GLMUA).
​
What stories are told?
Each page depicts a story from The Urantia Book's Life and Teachings of Jesus. Your kids can get to know Jesus, how he loves them and wants us to love others.
​
How can my family use these pages?
Your children can color the pages while you talk to them about the story, or they might listen-in while adults or older kids talk about the story. As kids get older, they can read parts of the story directly from The Urantia Book. Kids might ask their own questions, or start asking questions about other parts of the book.
​
What if I don't know the stories very well?
You don't need to be an expert to talk to your kids about Jesus. Tell them that you want to learn about him too. Let them color while you brush up on the lesson, then talk to them about what you learned. And it doesn't have to all fall on you; you can ask a friend or family member to help.
​
I want my children to make their own decisions about religion.
And they will. But in order to make a decision, they should be familiar with the topic. Most kids are very familiar with secular society, and they have a vocabulary that they are comfortable using in that society, but will they have an awareness of what you mean by "prayer" and will they be comfortable with that word? Will they be comfortable with using the word "God" or will that seem foreign to them? Equip your kids to think about religion by giving them a vocabulary and conceptual toolkit.
​
These pages look familiar, have I seen them before?
These pages were originally created as the One Page Stories of Jesus, a 5-year curriculum modeled after Sunday school. They have been available by email for several years. They were created as a version with Urantia Book references, and a second version with Bible references. More information about that can be found by emailing urantiayear55@gmail.com.
Can grownups get a subscription?
Free CherubiMail subscriptions which travel through the post office are only available to children, but grownups who would like to receive these pages can do so in one of two ways. Contact urantialifelessons@gmail.com to pay for a postal mail subscription, or request a free email subscription by contacting urantiayear55@gmail.com.
