July 25, 2010

The members of the Chung Pyung 40-day Special Workshop for International Blessed Children and the General Chung Pyung 40-day Workshop members went to Cheon Bok Gung and Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall on July 25. The total number was 200 plus members and took 5 buses for everyone. The groups were divided into two main groups, the General 40-day workshop members and the International Blessed Children workshop members.

In the morning of 25th, all the members gathered at the 1st Basement Floor of the Chinhwa Education Building for a video presentation of Dae Mo Nim's life. There everyone understood Dae Mo Nim's life and what kind of lifestyle that she took. 'Serving Heaven with Sincere Loyalty', a calligraphic writing given by True Parents to Dae Mo Nim for her great life that she offered for True Parents, the True Family and for all the Blessed Families.

At 12:00 pm, all 5 buses departed Chung Pyung to Seoul, Korea. After a beginning prayer offered by each leaders of the bus, members were eager to get there. Since there were many members going to one place it had to be divided into two main groups. The general team members had to go to Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall first and then go to Cheon Bok Gung where the International Blessed Children group went to the Cheon Bok Gung first and then to Dae Mo Nim's memorial hall.

As the Blessed Children group (BC group) arrived at Cheon Bok Gung they first went into the Jeong Seong (sincere devotion) Room to offer prayers. This is a room that is located on the first floor of the Cheon Bok Gung. With the 4 great saints' pictures on the wall and the beautiful setting, members were able to offer unison prayers.

As the members offered their prayers they then went up to the 3rd floor to attend the service. Originally, Hyung Jin Nim was supposed to be there to give the service however, Hyung Jin Nim had to attend the event held in USA, so there was a video letter by Hyung Jin Nim to greet the members who came to the church.

After a moving and touching service where all members had a great experience had a chance to take a picture with the pastor who gave words on the stage. Then members quickly got on the bus and went to Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall.

Dae Mo Nim's Memorial Hall is located around 20 minutes from the Cheon Bok Gung and members gathered inside the Memorial Hall to see the exhibitions of Dae Mo Nim's things, letters to and from the members of the True Family and old photos from the past. They also had a chance to pray in the Room that Dae Mo Nim offers sincere prayers and the members were in tears when they prayed.

After that members got on the bus and headed back for Chung Pyung just in time for the showers and food.
