Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesperson said they are thrilled to resume in-person meetings again
We look forward to learning bible messages along with our friends and neighbours who are willing to join us in such assemblies or meetings.
Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world have resumed meeting in person for their local assemblies from January 1, an event that was suspended in March 2020 as a safety precaution to stem the spread of Covid-19.
Circuit assemblies are a one-day meeting of multiple congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses held twice each year.
Circuit assemblies are open to the public and are designed to encourage spirituality by helping attendees of all ages to benefit from the Bible’s advice.
Now that Covid-19 cases have gone down significantly, it only makes sense that communities do continue benefitting from such large in-person meetings that take place in their localities.
For the past three years, we have seen these events taking place virtually.
Some in-person assembly sessions in eMalahleni will be at Emalahleni Local Municipality on March 19 in IsiNdebele and April 16 in IsiZulu.
Commenting on going back to in-person large meetings, the Regional Spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses, Kobus van der Merwe said, “We were thrilled to receive the direction to resume in-person large meetings. The prospect of being together as one family under one roof is faith-strengthening. We will surely enjoy the hugs, smiles and tears of joy that we had missed all this while. On top of that, we look forward to learning bible messages along with our friends and neighbours who are willing to join us in such assemblies or meetings.”
The programme promises several highlights.
For example, answers to the following questions will be provided using the Bible: ‘How can we make others feel welcome, why should we do so and how can we be a force for peace’?
“The rate at which families are breaking up is alarming. Many are even becoming self-centred and cold. Yet, it is possible to have a happy and united family. This is exactly what the programme will address using Bible principles,” said Kobus.
