True God’s Day Information
From the True God's Day Organizing Committee
We are blessed with the golden opportunity to host our True Parents for the 33rd celebration of True God’s Day, the millennial True God’s Day, in New York. To make this event a total success bringing joy to God and our True Parents, we know that all members want to invest their hearts and resources. A small number of dedicated staff will do their best to take care of almost 7,000 members, including children.
Our facilities will be very crowded, in the midst of a city that expects over 3 million people to celebrate New Years Eve in the streets outside our Hotel. It is vital that our security and ushering be perfectly organized. We cannot allow cameras or tape recorders in. To help you prepare, and make the event the most wonderful one for all to enjoy, we are providing this information.
We want you to enjoy a wonderful pre-midnight music and meditation program, the Midnight Prayer, the Holy Day Main Ceremony and Members’ Pledge Service, the True God’s Day historic speech, the world-class performance, the Pledge and speech on the Day of Victory of Love, and the International Leaders meeting. Best of all, we will be the family of True Parents and True Family on this cosmic occasion. It is the best way to begin the third millennium.
We request that all members who live in the greater New York area NOT plan to stay overnight at the hotel. Accommodations for all others
a. Stay with a friend who lives in the New York area. b. Bring sleeping bags because there will be floor space and rest room facilities available namely, the 7th floor of the Manhattan Center, and other areas if we can find them. This will not be tremendously comfortable but it is the best we can offer. (There will be no charge for that floor space.) The only requirement is that you are totally packed and groomed by 6 a.m., because that room will be used for the General Members Pledge Service at 7 a.m.
New York is expecting 3 million people to come for the New Years' Eve celebration in Times Square. Allow extra time and use public transportation. Good luck.
