OJODU, Lagos, Nigeria – On Tuesday, April 11, 2017, Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide will celebrate the Lord’s Evening Meal, also known as the Memorial of Christ’s death.
They are inviting all to attend the memorial in their Kingdom Hall worldwide. The Witnesses believe that the memorial which will take place in the evening after sundown is the greatest occasion in the history of mankind. It is based on Jesus’ command at Luke 22: 19 & 20.
They have flagged off a special campaign, with effect from Saturday, March 18, 2017 inviting all to the occasion. The campaign will terminate April 11, 2017, when the memorial will hold after sundown.
As a follow-up to their Memorial observance, Witnesses will invite the public to a 30-minute Bible-based presentation on the subject “How to Cultivate Peace in an Angry World.” This will be the featured topic of their public meeting on the weekend of April 15 and 16, 2017, at most Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.
Beginning May 19, 2017, Jehovah’s Witnesses will begin their series of three-day annual conventions with the theme “Don’t Give Up!” The programs will begin in the United States and continue in various locations around the world through early 2018. For each convention, the Witnesses will launch a three-week campaign to invite the public to local venues where the program will be held.
All of these events, as well as all meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses, are presented free of charge. Media outlets are invited to contact the local branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in their region for assistance in covering the event in their area.
