It is my great pleasure to inform you about the upcoming blessing Workshop in Europe. Especially during this time when the True Parents have taken responsibility to conduct matchings and Blessings for the Second Generation it is important, that we are well informed and prepared to attend our True Parents and prepare well for receiving the blessing.

As parents will also continue to do matchings it is important also to understand well how we can fulfill this responsibility as Blessed Families. The Blessing WS will be a time for the participants, both the parents and the 2nd Generation members, to prepare for the Matching process and the Blessing. We will use the time to go in detail into the meaning and process of the Blessing as well as how we can and should prepare ourselves in our hearts as well as practically for attending God and TP through the Blessing. There will be time to share and also work on one’s personal situation.

Please note that people who have not attending a Blessing workshop will not be eligible to attend the Blessing.
