Invitation to the 37th European Blessing Preparation Workshop for 2nd Generation Blessing Candidates and Parents

It is our great pleasure to inform you about the upcoming European Blessing Preparation Workshop. It is very important as we prepare ourselves for the Matching and Blessing that we have an in-depth understanding of it. A Blessing Preparation Workshop is a requirement for all who wish to attend the Blessing and is designed to assist all candidates preparing for the matching or those already matched preparing to go to the Blessing. Attending as Parents and Children is something we recommend, as it can be a positive experience to support the Parents Matching process. We will use the time to go in detail into the meaning and process of the Blessing as well as how we can and should prepare ourselves in our hearts as well as practically for attending God and TP through the Blessing. There will be time to reflect, share and also work on one’s personal situation. Please note that people who have not attended a Blessing workshop will not be eligible to attend the Blessing.
