Announcing the Next OSDP Workshop, November 6-9 in Atlantic City

May the love and blessing of our Heavenly Parent and our True Parents be with you and with your families as we prepare to celebrate the 52nd True Children’s Day and the 24th Foundation Day for the Unified Nation of Heaven and Earth (Saturday, October 29).

On behalf of our senior pastor, Rev. In Jin Moon, I would like to thank all of our families in America for your prayers and great support of this 40-day condition of prayer and action, centering on the education of 3,000 clergy in America. Thus far, we have completed two successful and powerful OSDP (Original Substance of Divine Principle) conferences in Atlantic City and in Las Vegas. Close to 1,000 people attended these historic workshops, where Rev. Jeong Ogk Eu gave the lectures.

Our True Parents are in Korea preparing for the Holy Day celebration this weekend and they are praying for the victory of the American OSDP education providence. With True Parents’ blessing we are planning to extend the education of 3,000 to the end of this year, which will amount to a second 40-day period from November 22 through December 31.

The Third National OSDP Workshop is now scheduled to take place in Atlantic City from Sunday evening, November 6 through Wednesday afternoon, November 9. The program, entitled, “Registration for God’s Kingdom and The Fatherland” will be held at the famed Trump Plaza, 2225 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ. As was the case before, a $200 love offering will be required for all participants. Online registration is now open at www.familyfed.org/osdpNJ1106.

We know that everyone had a great experience at the first Atlantic City conference and True Parents have given their permission for us to continue to hold the OSDP events in Atlantic City, making it easier for people from the East Coast and Districts east of the Mississippi to attend. So it’s official now, and let’s open the floodgates!

The emphasis for those attending these OSDP National Workshops is on clergy, of course. So please make every effort to work together with those who are part of the 172 Clergy to Korea group, who are reaching out to 12 other clergy members to fulfill True Parents’ direction. In addition, Women Leaders (WFWP) and Ambassadors for Peace (UPF) can be invited to attend. Our blessed families may attend, but we are asking you to make the condition of attending together with your guest, who is a member of the clergy, faith leader, woman leader or Ambassador for Peace.

The Fourth National OSDP Workshop will take place again in Las Vegas, from Monday, November 14 through Thursday, November 17. The location will be announced very shortly, but this schedule is firm and all of our families in the West should proceed to invite your guests, centering on the District Pastors. The final OSDP National Workshops for this year have tentatively been scheduled for November 28 - December 1 (Atlantic City) and December 14 - 17 (Chicago).

Once again, thank you for all of your devotion and dedication to God and True Parents in offering this nation of America as we approach the final year before Foundation Day 2013. Have a wonderful Holy Day celebration tomorrow.
