Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Great Things are happening in HARLEM, just ask President Former President William Jefferson Clinton.

Centering on the Unification Church, Harlem is becoming an international and interracial community. In May last year, after True Parents' 50 State Tour Heavenly Father Blessed America through an invitation by one of the world's most prominent Christian leaders, the Rev. Dr. Wyatt Tee Walker, for True Father to speak to the nation and world through the pulpit of one of Harlem's landmark institutions, the Canaan Baptist Church. It was a great success.

Shortly after the Canaan Speech, due to the tragic World Trade Center bombing, causing the postponement of the 12,000 Clergy Couple Blessing at Madison Square Garden, Rev. Dr. Charles Kenyatta and Rev. Juanita Pierre-Louis worked together to secure the Harlem Square Plaza (affectionately named the African Square Church) as the site for the September 22nd ACLC National Day of Prayer and Healing Rally. For over 3,000 clergy and guests this was a Holy Day and a great success.

On Saturday, December 1st, our True Mother visited Harlem as the seventh city on her 8 City National Tour around America. True Mother spoke to an overflow crowd at the United Salem Methodist Church. Over 900 clergy gathered including 200 Ambassadors of Peace and received True Mother's guidance and education with joy and enthusiasm. This was another great success.

And to end the year in great style and excitement our beloved Hyun Jin Moon, the International leader of the Second Generation spoke at Columbia University (which is located in Harlem, in case you didn't know). Centering on Hyun Jin nim's theme of "Peace through Service" the first site for this project was staged in the Harlem Community. We thank all CARP members for bringing their success and foundation to the Harlem area.

In addition to these events the Harlem Family Church is busy educating ministers and community leaders through the building we purchased in 1992. This Thursday, January 24th we will have our second one day seminar on the purpose and meaning of the matching and Blessing. Over 15 clergy will attend. Please bring your ministers too.

It is our desire that our Church building be in a better condition to receive these leaders and future guests. Therefore, the Harlem Family Church is initiating a "Building Fund Drive." We humbly ask that you support our efforts to create a high standard atmosphere to bring hope and life to all the guests who will receive education of the Divine Principle and Unification Thought.

We have four areas to repair and renovate. They are:

Our goal is $3000. This is based on the use of volunteer labor, which can be donated by experienced ones in the areas needed or you can pay a friend who can do the work and make that your donation into the building fund. We will begin our renovations on Saturday, January 26, 2002. We will begin on faith!

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration to support the ongoing work of God's Providence in Harlem.

Sincerely,

Daryl M. Clarke, Pastor Harlem Family Church
