Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We would like to invite all Blessed Parents who have children of matching age or younger to our upcoming European Parents Matching Convocation. There is a great deal of useful information for parents who will be preparing to match their children in the future, as well as those who are already in the process now.

The Convocation will take place in the youth Hostel Grävenwiesbach, Germany from the 1st to 3rd June 2012.

The purpose of the Convocation is to support parents in their responsibility of matching their children. TPs have given the responsibility of matching our 2nd Generation to the parents, and it is our responsibility as Blessed Families to fulfill the expectation of our True Parents and to establish a tradition preparing and matching our children. For this difficult task we need to make our full effort and work together well, supporting each other in facing the different challenges, guiding our 2nd Generation well through the matching process and setting the right foundation for their future Blessing.

The Convocation will include plenty of education and guidance on issues relating to the matching and Blessing, also about Treasures of Heaven (special needs children) and Jacobs children. There will be opportunities to meet and share with other Blessed Families. It will also be possible to display and see applications of matching candidates from around the world.
Our recommendation is that it is good, if parents can attend such Convocations just to learn, (even though they are not yet ready to match their children or the children are still young), but as an education process. There is a lot of important content to learn. And they could choose to attend even two or three times.

Please note: Again we will display the profile of Matching-candidates from around the world; if you want that for your child, please send in the profile of your child as soon as possible. The display of your childs profile is not depending on your participation in the PMC!

Please register early. There are 100 spaces available. As there are people who were not able to attend the last Convocation, they will have priority in being accepted as participants this time.

For those planning to attend please prepare the Blessing application for your child and send it to the 2nd Generation Blessing Department, so that it can be prepared in advance. For details concerning the Blessing Application and for Forms, please go to the Blessing website http://www.bfdeu.org/BFD/blessing/index.php

Also we encourage all families to prepare beyond the application some further details about the candidate to present. This is to help other parents get to know a bit more about the candidate, about his / her character, life of faith, background, future aspirations, limitations, etc...

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It is my 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 the Blessing and the process of the matching and Blessing. This Workshop is a requirement for all who wish to attend the blessing and is made to be a help for all candidates preparing for the matching or those matched preparing to go to the Blessing.

The Blessing WS will be a time for the participants, both the parents and the 2nd Generation members, to prepare for the Matching process and the Blessing. 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 share and also work on ones personal situation.
