Pastor’s Weekly Greeting Greetings Brothers and Sisters!

It was great to be with you at Camp Sunrise, and to see our brothers and sisters from all around the NY District. The Manhattan Band was tremendous and Demian’s sermon was just what we needed to hear. God has not given up on America. He is calling all of us to be the true pilgrims, the Americans who can take ownership over this nation and guide it to God, our Heavenly Parent.

The God’s Hope for America Tour is about to begin (Sunday June 22 in San Francisco). This is our time to remember (connecting deeply with True Parents heart for this nation), to revive our spirits and our determination, and to re-imagine and be willing to challenge ourselves to think and act in new ways.

Here are some important key points

1) Everyone Participate! – (even if just for one day or part of one day) 2) Challenge yourself to go on the bus for at least a day 3) We can invite non-members (its going to be fun and exciting!) 4) Challenge yourself and go on one leg of the journey. There are now mini-tours.

 From Baltimore (Sunday July 13) to NY (this would be great for our high school kids – it will visit Gettysburg and the historic sights in Philadelphia)  From NY (July 17) to Boston (Sunday July 20) (will visit Plymouth Rock)  From Boston to Barrytown (July 21, Monday)  From Barrytown (July 22) to Chicago (Saturday July 26) (includes Niagra Falls)

5) The event in NY will take place on Thursday July 17. (PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING THE DAY OFF FROM WORK)

So far this is our schedule:

 6:00 am – 7:00 am prayer and ceremony at the Holy Ground in NY City, Central Park  9:30 am 10:30 am – official welcome of the Tour at 9-11, Ground Zero (we hope to have clergy and public officials present)  10:30 until noon: visit the 9-11 Memorial  (at this point the tour may visit Madison Sq Garden – it is not yet sure)  In the afternoon the tour will come up to East Garden for a tour of EG.  5:00 pm – activities will begin at Belvedere  6:00 pm – 9:00 pm food, games, music, Testimonies of TP at Belvedere

Let’s Remember, Revive, and Re-imagine our future!

And don’t forget to invite your guest to the upcoming Korean Cultural program on Saturday June 14.

Let’s keep striving to resemble our Heavenly Parent – and make it a great week!

God Bless You and your Family! Andrew Compton

Who’s the Boss? One evening a preschooler, Kristel, and her parents were sitting on the couch chatting. Kristel asked, “ Daddy, you’re the boss of the house, right?” Her father proudly replied, “Yes, I am the boss of the house.” But Kristel added “Cause Mommy put you in charge, huh Daddy?”
