The Words of the Cotter Family |
Dear Blessed Families,
We are looking forward to celebrating the Blessing with our True Parents on October 14th (October 13th in America) representing the entire world. Your participation in this event will have special significance to God. Our True Parents appreciate your investment of heart and contribution to this worldwide offering.
Father asked that couples make a sincere offering of $1,000. Please consider how you may be able to do that in support of the conditions that our True Parents are making. At the heart of this condition is your presence at the ceremony, standing together with True Parents. You may make a payment plan that includes an initial offering with future monthly payments. Please give your best, and submit your donation to your District Headquarters.
This Blessing is extended to all Blessed Couples including Ambassadors for Peace, Clergy and other members of society. Please include them if at all possible. We may not be able to expect the same standard of commitment from all of our friends, supporters and contacts. However, if someone values the Blessing, desires to participate and it is appropriate for them, ask for their best donation and embrace their participation as an offering for America.
International President Hyung Jin Moon has encouraged 100 couples to stand in front of True Parents and represent America at the main ceremony in Korea October 14th. Because the actual number of matched couples planning to attend there is much smaller than that, we are looking for 3 or 4 couples from each district who can afford to travel to Korea to represent our nation for this historical condition. To volunteer or get further information about this special opportunity please contact the Blessed Family Department right away.
True Parents will officiate this Blessing by internet so that all humankind, represented by the participants around the world is able to participate. Some 70 internet sites are planned across America for this Blessing. A list of these will be released right away, but site information is already available from your district office. We are waiting for download information from Korea, and plan to prepare a model program for each site, in case of transmission problems. It will not be possible to use a DVD of any previous Blessing ceremony, as this event is unique and has new content and spiritual significance.
True Father has requested that Blessed Central Families receive Holy Wine as representatives of humanity. Guidelines for preparation have been sent to the Blessed Family Department in each district.
We welcome the participation of your entire family. However, we are aware that children may be living in different locations across America. Please bring a picture of your family if not all members can be present.
Let's all come together on October 14th and make this a truly joyful occasion for God and True Parents. If you have additional unresolved questions please feel free to contact your local or district Blessed Family Department.
Thank you and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Rev. Joshua Cotter
