On a sunny winter day in Southern California, a special Service was held at the Los Angeles Family Church.

True Mother declared the dedication of Cheon Won Gung (with the Cheon Il Sanctum) for the sake of the final completion of God's providence and the victory of the firm establishment of a heavenly unified world.

On the March 22 TribeNet call, in response to Dr. Yong, we have launched the "2022 New Life Campaign - Reconnecting Hearts to God," where leaders and members are invited to pledge their commitment to bring 3 new members to their local community by the Anniversary of True Father's Seunghwa this August.

At the end of the three-month trial of the Saturday Evening Service (October 30, 2021 - January 29, 2022), we took survey. 106 members responded. Thank you! Members’ input were carefully reviewed and discussed by the pastors. The congregational care in several areas were discussed by the pastors and leaders. Last Saturday Rev. Mark Tengan, Senior Pastor, announced that we will continue Satuday Evening Service one hour earlier at 5:00 pm starting on February 5.

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

Please see the slides which have details. We hope it will be an opportunity for more families and members to come as one family.

We are living in challenging times. We cannot deny what is taking place before our eyes. With growing dismay, we have watched the polarization and conflict in this country grow. The pandemic and the contentious elections only augmented this process. But with the events leading up to and those taking place on January 6 at our nation’s capital, it becomes evident that we mustn’t stand on the sidelines.

…Recently, I’ve been reflecting on the nature of the challenges we face, and I realized that they all share a common cause. In fact, all problems in human history stem from the same problem. When we are distant from the Word, we create all kinds of problems. That is why True Parents initiated Hoondokhwe…
