True Parents' Birthday 2024, Celebration & Donation
Letter from Rev. Dunkley
TP Birthday Celebration and Donation
February 5, 2024
Dear Family,
Thank you all for your ongoing devotion and dedication to our Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and for your support of the providence in America and the world.
In less than two weeks, we will commemorate together with True Mother and our worldwide movement True Parents’ Birthday and the 11th Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day. The Holy Days will be celebrated together on February 15, 2024 starting with a Pledge Service followed by a Celebration with the Special Blessing. We expect that part of the events will be broadcast live, so we will inform everyone when broadcast information is available. This will not be the usual large international gathering, however Yumiko and I plan to attend in person. We hope to bring back fresh insights and deep love from our beloved True Mother.
As you can see from the international memo, communities and families are encouraged to join the celebration of True Parents’ Birthday at their local church or from home on February 15. Please plan celebrations with an offering table according to your circumstances. I would also suggest for communities with children, that you consider ways to make it an event that becomes part of their favorite childhood memories (in other words, both sacred and fun).
These Holy Days are also an opportunity to offer our gratitude and a birthday gift to True Parents, and we invite you to make your offering today. Though we have a tradition of recommended amounts ($130 per family and $70 per individual), I invite you to ask Heavenly Parent to inspire the amount you wish to give with all your heart. Your offering of any amount is always appreciated and gratefully accepted. You may give through your local church or online.
Let us show our sincere love to Heavenly Parent and True Parents, and let us continue to work together in America to strengthen our communities and nation. Aju!
Sincerely,
Rev. Demian Dunkley
Regional Chair and President
