TO ALL BETHEL ELDERS
Dear Brothers:
For those who will be giving a Memorial talk this year, please find the announcement that is to be read by the speaker during the eight-minute concluding portion of the outline, under the bold heading “Benefits From Being Present at This Memorial Celebration.” Please do not paraphrase this announcement.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The many visitors here this evening are to be commended for showing appreciation for this most sacred occasion. You can also be sure that Jehovah God and Jesus Christ are pleased that you put forth the effort to be here. We sincerely want to help you draw close to God and his Son and to enjoy an approved standing with them. In this regard, we are pleased to announce that anyone present who would like more information may obtain a free personal Bible study by speaking to one of the attendants. Arrangements will be made for a qualified Christian minister to visit you at a time and place that is convenient for you. In addition, we would like to invite all to attend a special Bible discourse that will be presented on Sunday, April 30. [Provide time and location of the meeting. If your congregation has its Public Meeting on a different day, mention the appropriate day and date.] This talk, entitled “Is God Still in Control?” will be presented worldwide by Jehovah’s Witnesses.
If you require transportation to the airport, please submit your airport request on the Transportation web site as soon as your travel arrangements have been confirmed. Requests should be submitted no later than Monday March 27.
Thank you.
Your brothers,
U.S. Branch Office
