A Joyful Celebration of the Blessing Anniversary Festival

On August 24, 2025, the Blessed Family Department (BFD) together with the Bangkok Church hosted a grand Blessing Anniversary Festival, transforming what was originally a commemoration for the 360,000 couples (1995) and 30,000 couples (1992) Blessings into a joyful celebration for all generations of Blessed Families—including those who received the Blessing this very year.
This special day became more than just a memorial. It was an opportunity for our pastors to reach out and personally invite members, especially those who had not been active in recent years. The response was inspiring. More than 230 members participated onsite, while over 80 members joined online, allowing Blessed Families both near and far to share in the joy of the celebration. Many faces not seen for a long time reappeared, rekindling bonds of faith and community.
One of the most heartwarming aspects of the event was the spirit of contribution and unity. Blessed Families from different backgrounds—including international families, Thai–Japanese families, Thai–Philippines families—along with members from the Bangkok districts, the Central area community, and even support from Ilwha came together to generously prepare and share lunch for everyone, creating an atmosphere of warmth and care. The BFD and Bangkok Church also sponsored food and organized a lively lucky draw with a main prize and gifts, while additional donations from families and groups further enriched the celebration, showing the love and generosity of our community.
The program was rich with performances from our second generation, Blessed Families, and members, adding joy and creativity to the celebration. The second-generation youth, in particular, were recognized with small gifts as encouragement for their heartfelt contributions. The event was filled with laughter, music, and the warmth of fellowship.
Above all, the festival was a moment to offer our deepest gratitude to our True Parents, who opened the way for all families to inherit Heavenly Parent’s Blessing. We are especially grateful to our beloved True Mother, who continues to guide us with her sacrificial heart and unwavering love. Because of True Parents’ vision and devotion, our families can stand as Blessed Families and build a community rooted in Heavenly Parent’s love.
Today, as Blessed Families living in the Cheon Il Guk Era, we are called to uphold this precious tradition of the Blessing and embody the culture of heart in our daily lives. This era is not just about remembering the Blessing of the past—it is about becoming owners of Cheon Il Guk, expanding Heavenly lineage, and creating a world of peace through our families.
The Blessing Anniversary Festival of 2025 was truly a day of gratitude and joy—a living testimony of the strength of our Blessed Families. With hearts of appreciation to True Parents, we move forward with renewed determination to fulfill our responsibility as Cheon Il Guk families and to bring greater joy to Heaven.
