ANNOUNCEMENT | Special Talk and Memorial Arrangements

[Kingdom1914]

Congregations worldwide will resume holding the midweek and weekend meetings in person beginning April 1, except where local governmental restrictions do not permit them to do so. Mask-wearing is strongly recommended for all in-person meetings, even if it is not required by the authorities. A videoconferencing option will continue to be available. However, it is the Governing Body's earnest desire that all congregations worldwide make a concerted effort to hold in-person meetings for the special talk and Memorial and that the talks be given in person. In most congregations, the special talk, “Where Can You Find Real Hope?,” will be presented the week of April 4. And this year, the Memorial of Jesus’ death will be held on Friday, April 15.

Wow, it seems like I just read that on JWLIBRARY and JW.org. Amazing

Strongly recommended to wear even if not required.  Much more emphatic than "encouraged" to wear..

 

JW.ORG quote...world-wide 

"Mask-wearing is strongly recommended for all in-person meetings, even if it is not required by the authorities".

I'm so happy I bought some attractive, black K95 masks last week!

I missed the beginning of today's meeting. Is there somewhere I can view or download the Special Talk?

I thought this was meant to be disseminated through the congregations…. Maybe check with your FSG?

Was your meeting schedule moved because of a Circuit Assembly or something?  The Special Talk is supposed to be next week (on or about April 10th).  If you missed the in-person meeting today, can you attend an weekend meeting next week and hear the talk?

 

If not, there is a recorded version available on the JW Stream site.  It will require the assistance of the elders to get yoou a special invitation to see or download that program digitally. If they approve your use of the provision, you will need a computer or device to receive it, an internet connection and a working email to receive the link.  In some special cases, the download has already been made by the elders and someone can copy it to a DVD or flash-drive for your use.
