Our Christian life and ministry–meeting workbook April 2016

[Qapla]

We had our CO visit last week and, as usual, he pointed out some areas of concern to the Body. So, tonight, for the Local Needs part we had some instruction on reporting our service and the use of the new form - seems that was something the CO and the Elders thought we needed.

In the second week the initial call and the return visit sound exactly the same:

"Initial Call: g16.2 cover—Lay the groundwork for a return visit. (2 min. or less)Return Visit: g16.2 cover—Lay the groundwork for the next visit. (4 min. or less) "

How do you make a 4 minute return visit with just the cover? Or does it include the article that goes along with the cover?

Remember it's 4 minutes or LESS. So timing shouldn't be an issue. Just do your best.

But I'm wondering whether it includes the whole cover article?

Oh, thanks. I wonder why the wording is changed in the April workbook, and is actually more confusing...

It is just a minor "Tweak" from the Jan & Feb MWB's   ...   the change came in March & April - just less wordy

As we gain experience in this new format we may see other minor "Tweaks"

True, it depends on locality, and time of year
