Re: True Parents' Universal Blessing Ceremony, February 17, 2010; Second Generation Matching and Blessing Workshops -- East Coast: Jan. 29-31, 2010; Midwest and West Coast: Feb. 5-7, 2010

Based upon the October 14, 2009 Blessing ceremony which established the condition for the Blessing of all humanity, the November 16th Second Generation Blessing by True Parents' fulfilled God's original ideal to bless Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. True Parents invested so much heart and devotion into this Blessing ceremony, and encouraged all Blessed Families to support these new Second Generation Blessed Couples, who have the responsibility to embody True Father's words and establish a new tradition for 2nd Generation Blessing.

On February 17, 2010 at True Parents' Birthday Celebration, True Parents will officiate a Universal Blessing Ceremony. 14,300 couples will participate in the main ceremony at Kintex, the Korea International Exhibition Center near Seoul, including Blessed Children matched by True Parents, Blessed Children matched by their own parents, previously married couples and matched First Generation couples. True Parents will match Second Generation couples from February 14 - 16, at the Cheon Jeong Gong Museum, and are expecting America's Blessed Children who feel called to help establish the original standard of the Blessing to participate. USA First Gen., previously married and Ambassador for Peace couples should also join the main ceremony.

Further details about the matching and Blessing will be announced this week. In order for Blessed Children planning to participate to fulfill the requirement to attend a Blessing Workshop, three programs will be held across the USA in late January and early February:
