In another attempt to create a Holy Spirit-filled environment and convey Father and Mother Moon’s teachings this Fall 2023 semester, the CARP LV team hosted a 4-day retreat on December 17th to 21st. It may have been a small and intimate gathering, but with several guest speakers and an overnight camping trip, all participants found that it was a meaningful and reflective way to conclude the year.
On December 15-17, Dallas CARP brought together students from Dallas College, North Lake Campus and the University of Texas, Arlington (UTA), for a three day retreat focusing on the theme of “Culture of Heart.” The retreat was held at the DFW Family Church in Irving, TX. There were 16 participants in total.
Mother Moon’s recent Las Vegas visit October 7 and 8 for the “Resurgence” event saw many participants experience a powerful reawakening of their own spirituality and faith. The weekend program at the International Peace Education Center (IPEC) in Las Vegas, where she delivered a special message, brought together some 1,500 young people and numerous faith leaders from across the country.
On August 2-7, 2023, National CARP hosted its annual “CARP Momentum” leadership retreat, in Las Vegas, NV. The purpose of Momentum is to clarify and unify on a shared national vision for CARP, to allow networking and building bonds across chapters, and to help chapters to make their plans for the school year. This year’s Momentum was special. We had the privilege of welcoming Rev. Demian Dunkley for a “Rebirth Workshop” experience.
On July 25-31, 2023, a group of 23 students and staff from CARP chapters throughout the United States went to Korea for a special opportunity: the 2023 New Hope HJ Pilgrimage. Over the course of a week, the pilgrimage participants traveled all over South Korea to understand and experience the history and heart of CARP Founders, Father and Mother Moon, based on the theme “Experience the Footsteps of True Parents.” It was a truly life-changing experience for everyone!
