Dear UB & SFN FAMILY,
I'm writing to bring to your attention and request for financial assistance for our annual Music, Dance, and Drama extravaganza inter-house competitions at FIFTH EPOCH REVELATIONS INTEGRATED (F.E.R) ORPHANAGE COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROJECT, scheduled for November 26, 2025.
Theme, "Unity in Diversity: Embracing the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man,"
Need = $1300.
Purpose
Our inter-house cultural competitions are designed to:
• Nurture creativity and joy in every child.
• Build teamwork, unity, and harmony among the houses.
• Develop self-expression and confidence through music, dance, and drama.
• Celebrate spiritual values as taught in The Urantia Book.
Competition Categories
1. Music (Singing / Instrumental)
o Solo and group performances.
o Original compositions or adapted songs with uplifting messages.
o Can include choral singing, percussion, or simple instrumental work.
Inspired by Paper 44: Celestial Musicians, reminding us that music is eternal and divine.
2. Dance
o Cultural, creative, or interpretive dance.
o Emphasis on harmony, rhythm, and storytelling through movement.
o Group dances encouraged to foster unity.
Paper 44: Divine Dramatists—movement as an expression of higher culture.
3. Drama / Short Play
o Stories with themes of truth, beauty, goodness, kindness, teamwork, or courage.
o Can include spoken word, mime, or short skits.
o Encourage humor and joy in line with Paper 84: Play and Child Culture.
Judging Values
Instead of focusing only on “winning,” we recognize performances according to values that reflect Urantia Book ideals:
1. Creativity & Originality – new ideas, fresh expression, imaginative storytelling.
2. Teamwork & Cooperation – working together in harmony, supporting each other.
3. Spiritual Uplift – does the performance inspire joy, kindness, unity, or beauty?
4. Effort & Growth – every child’s progress and dedication is valued.
5. Joyful Expression – smiles, laughter, and genuine enjoyment are celebrated.
Awards & Recognition
• House Awards: Points for each event contribute to an overall house celebration.
• Individual Awards: Recognition for special creativity, courage, or inspiration.
• Spiritual Recognition: A special mention for the performance that most uplifted the hearts of children and audience alike.
Paper 28: Recreation Supervisors reminds us that play is meant to refresh, uplift, and unite—not divide.
Spirit of the Competition
We affirm that:
• Every participant is a winner, because expression itself is growth.
• The competitions are a celebration of life and spirit, not rivalry.
• Through music, dance, and drama, our children join in the universal tradition of art and play that extends even into the higher worlds.
Charter Excerpt for Spiritual Foundation
At our school, we affirm that music, dance, drama, and play are not only educational but also spiritual practices, nurturing the body, mind, and soul of every child.
1. Art as Eternal Expression: “The celestial artisans… include musicians, singers, and divine dramatists.” (Paper 44: The Celestial Artisans)
2. Play as Growth: “Play, humor, and other phases of child culture… are essential to growth and development.” (Paper 84: Marriage and Family Life, Section 7)
3. Festivals as Education: “Music, art, and drama are recognized as essential elements of education and culture.” (Paper 72: Government on a Neighboring Planet)
4. Recreation as Spiritual Refreshment: “Recreation supervisors promote refreshing play for the well-being of all.” (Paper 28: Ministering Spirits of the Superuniverses)
We therefore commit to holding annual inter-house competitions in music, dance, and drama as a celebration of life, a training in creativity, and a spiritual practice of harmony.
