The workshop schedule for July 2005 is as below. Ancestor liberation ceremonies for generations 106-112 and ancestor blessing ceremonies for generations 1~105 will begin in July 2005 and will be held for a 5-month period through November 2005. Members living in Korea or Japan can liberate generations 106-112 during any of the liberation ceremonies held during this time period. These members can liberate any of the missing groups during the “additional” ancestor liberation ceremony. Members living in all other countries can liberate all possible sets of ancestors at any of the 2-day workshops held throughout the year. Please make a 21-day condition of devotion (breakfast fast or 50 bows) before coming to participate in the ancestor liberation ceremony.

A Three Ages Four Position Foundation Registration Unification Blessing Ceremony is scheduled for July 8-10, 2005. An “additional” ancestor liberation ceremony is also scheduled to be held during the workshop on July. Members wishing to participate should make a reservation via fax (82-31-585-0886) or email.

A commemorative gift has been made from each of the photos that members who made the full donation for the Original Palace construction took with Dae Mo Nim. Please confirm the attached recipient list (see section 5 below) and present the receipt at the time of receipt.

Please note that this official memo is intended for members living outside of Korea and Japan.

1. *July Workshop Schedule*

Please remember that there is also a workshop fee of 2,000 won for toddlers and infants (effective as of April 2003).

Please prepare the appropriate collateral relative liberation donation to liberate any second or third generation, blessed or unblessed, who has passed away. (Although there is no difference in the liberation of second generation, third generation or unblessed first generation members, it is difficult to liberate second and third generation simply through a donation of gratitude because the condition is insufficient. Also, more devotion needs to be offered to allow second and third generation to grow and mature in the spirit world.)

Please contact your local church leader and make a reservation via fax (82-31-584-4336) or email (cpwe_office@cheongshim.com) if you would like to attend a workshop.

2. Ancestor Blessing Ceremony (Generations 1 -105) Schedule Information

Ancestor blessing ceremonies for generations 99-105 (1-105) will begin in July 2005 and will be held once a month for a 5-month period through November 2005. Generations 1~105 are eligible to receive the blessing after 100 days have passed from the day they were liberated and the full liberation donations were offered. They can be blessed when their descendants attend an ancestor blessing ceremony, held on the third weekend of every month. (Schedule subject to change.)

Starting from July 2002, ancestors who have become absolute good spirits through the blessing come to separate spirits from their descendants during the holy song session of the ancestor liberation ceremonies. (Angels work with members who have not blessed their ancestors.)

*The donation amounts for blessing ancestors are set according to national group (as of August 2003). The blessing donation for generations 1~7 is offered once for the father’s side and includes all four lineages (father’s, mother’s, father’s grandmother’s, and mother’s grandmother’s sides). However, if blessing the four lineages at separate times, a blessing donation of gratitude (same amount offered for generations 8 and above) is made each time you register. It is possible to offer the blessing donation in parts and to begin blessing generations 8 and above before it is completed.

The blessing donation of gratitude for generations 8 and above is offered per group of seven generations. It includes all four lineages (father’s, mother’s, father’s grandmother’s, and mother’s grandmother’s sides) if blessing them all at once and is offered again each time you register to bless lineages in a particular generation group.

Parents may participate in the 2-day workshop and must be sure to register their child or children for the Registration Blessing. (Parents must wear holy robes during the ceremony.)

- If unavoidable circumstances prevent a child from attending, it is possible for parents to bring their photo and participate. However, the child must participate in person at the next possible Registration Blessing Ceremony.
