Every week the National Ministry Team compiles stories and important upcoming events in a quick weekly update video. Here is what we cover this week:
Upcoming Holy Days
Though Christmas and the New Year are behind us, the holiday season is not over yet! Just around the corner are three major Unificationist Holy Days—God’s Day (Feb. 8), True Parents’ birthday (Feb. 13), and Foundation Day (Feb. 20)—where we can celebrate our Heavenly Parent, the legacy of our founders and the new era of God’s Kingdom which we strive to build each day. Make your Holy Day offering and find out more at the link below.
Martin Luther King Day of Service
