On August 1, members and their families gathered at Laura Beach Park for a farewell gathering, sharing time together before one member and their family moved on to a new chapter. Later, on August 18, the community came together at the Peace Embassy to celebrate the birthday of National Leader Rev. Takaaki Ito.

Both occasions provided meaningful opportunities for fellowship, gratitude, and strengthening family bonds. The gatherings included prayer led by Rev. Takaaki Ito, the birthday and farewell celebrations, and heartfelt speeches from family members.

A central message shared during these gatherings was that healthy families begin by putting Heavenly Parent and True Parents first in our daily lives. Through celebrating milestones and accompanying one another through transitions, the community continues to nurture a family environment grounded in faith, care, and mutual support.
