This week my wife and I had the incredible honor to be the representative officiating couple at the Holy Wine and Blessing Ceremony that was held at 43rd Street in Manhattan. It was a beautiful experience for me, most touching was to see the 7 couples take this incredible step, and then to see True Mother and to hear the recording of True Father’s prayer during the ceremony.
Special thanks to Christian Nseka (BFM representative for FC-NYC) who oversaw the event. Let’s do all we can to support and encourage the newly weds!
Finally, don’t forget, we will be hosting a 3 week national witnessing event here in New York, (May 3-24). Please mark your calendars, and let’s prepare ourselves with prayer – for an exciting, heart uplifting, spiritual world supporting, life transforming experience! I will let you know the details in the coming weeks.
God Bless You Andy Compton >>><<< Blessing & Family Ministry Corner >>><<<
Humor for the Week Phone Conversations A woman of our acquaintance was in the habit of having long telephone conversations that usually lasted over an hour.
One day she hung up after just 25 minutes.
“What is the matter?” asked her husband. “You were on the phone talking for less than half an hour.”
“I got a wrong number,” the woman replied.
