Dear Blessed Families,

We are excited to announce that the next HyoJeong Cosmic Blessing Ceremony will take place on April 16, 2022.

As you know, for the past few months we have been preparing to welcome True Mother back in America with another virtual Blessing Fest, this time on the theme, Marriage for Peace. Our first broadcast is set for December 18, 2021, when True Mother will be able to participate as well.

The North American Blessing Registry is now available to every Tribal Messiah family for personalized access.

We have exciting news!

As you can see from the attached memo from International HQ, there has been an extension of the CheonBo evaluation process, so that couples have another opportunity to apply to be inducted as CheonBo Couples. The deadline for applications has been extended to the end of this year.

During the Service on October 3, Rev. Mark Tengan, Senior Pastor, announced the upcoming change of church service from Sunday morning to Saturday evening from October 30. It is a 3-month trial. Please see the slides which have details. We hope it will be an opportunity for more families and members to come as one family.

The Crisis in the Holy Land: A Call for Dialogue, Prayer and an End to the Violence

As we observe the recent eruption of conflict and violence in the Holy Land, our hearts are deeply saddened. The Universal Peace Federation, through its Middle East Peace Initiative, inaugurated in 2003, has worked continuously to promote dialogue and cooperation among stakeholders in the Holy Land, especially among religious leaders of the Abrahamic faiths. Violence and the loss of life will yield no lasting solution.
