Pastor’s Weekly Greeting Dear Brothers & Sisters,
This past Sunday we received a very insightful sermon on Tribal Messiahship by Demian Dunkley.
Afterwards almost 100 members stayed to hear 5 actions steps (also by Demian) and some wonderful guidance from Rev Inose.
My hope is that each family will make an official determination to be a Tribal Messiah family. For that purpose we have certificates. Please talk to Rev. Compton if you plan to do (or are already doing) Tribal Messiaship.
Ideally, before too long, we can conduct Sunday services in which we simply share about our experiences growing, caring for, and dealing with issues that relate to our tribes.
The NY District Witnessing Campaign is going to start from May 3. It will be centered on 4 West 43rd Street in Manhattan. Most of my time, until May 23, will be focused there. Below is the letter I am sending to those who plan to participate
To all who plan to participate in the NY Witnessing Campaign (May 3-23)
First, we are excited to work with you on this campaign. NY City is packed with people who are being prepared by heaven to meet you and to meet our True Parents. It is going to be an amazing experience!
For our theme, we are going to continue with “God’s Hope for America!” That will be on the front of our T- shirts (on the back we will have “Forgive Love & Unite)
Our general witnessing attitude: will be based upon Tribal Messiah. We are working to expand and grow our tribe. For those who have not yet made a clear start to their Tribal Messiah mission, every Monday morning we will provide Tribal Messiah Education.
Witnessing Activity: primarily on the street near 4 West 43rd Street. We will set up book tables, banners, and posters. There will be other possibilities (door to door on Long Is, or Fundraising for charity)
Location: the main focus will be centered on 4 West 43rd Street in Manhattan. However our other local communities (Harlem, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn) will be conducting parallel campaigns and there will be opportunities to witness in those communities.

Humor for the Week Routine Physical A woman goes to a doctor for a physical checkup. The nurse starts with certain basic items.
“How much do you weigh?” she asks.
“One-fifty.” she says.
The nurse puts her on the scale. It turns out that her weight is 173.
The nurse asks, “Your height?”
“Five-ten.” she says.
The nurse checks and sees that she’s only 5’ 7 1/2”.
She then takes her blood pressure, and it’s very high.
The woman explains, “Of course it’s high. When I came in here, I was tall and wiry. Now, I’m short and fat!”
