Jehovah’s Witnesses launch invitation campaign

While the date Sunday, March 24, may pass imperceptibly for many, millions around the world will gather at sundown to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ.

Considered the most important day of the year for Jehovah’s Witnesses, the memorial is observed annually on Nisan 14
of the Jewish calendar in adherence to Jesus’ statement found at Luke 22:19, “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
Though there are over 8.6 million Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world, over 20 million people attended the event last
year.

“Around the world, many people who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses attend the Memorial. In Prince George, interest has
always been high. We hope that members of our community will be able to join us as we remember the death of Jesus
Christ to show gratitude for his sacrifice,” said Stefan Freudentheil, spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “While it is a
solemn occasion, it is also a joyous one.”

The one-hour event will feature a talk highlighting the significance of Jesus’ death and what it means for all of mankind.
In Prince George, a special campaign will be launched during March 2024 to invite local residents to attend the annual
observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal as well as a special public talk that will be delivered the week before.

Titled “The Resurrection—Victory Over Death!” the special talk will be delivered at local Kingdom Halls on the weekend
of March 16 and 17, 2024. This 30-minute, Bible-based public discourse will focus on the scriptural hope of a
resurrection of the dead in the near future.

Allison Michaud, from Prince George says: “Three and a half years ago my son passed away. There is not a day that goes
by that he is not in my thoughts. These two events are near and dear to my heart because they will share how we can
benefit from what God and Christ have done for us. If anyone has lost a loved one in death, please consider attending this
Special Talk and the Memorial of Jesus’ Death. I honestly believe that others can receive the comfort that I have.”
