Come to the “Divine Purpose” Assembly!

NO QUESTION about it, the purpose of Jehovah God will succeed. It is therefore in our interest to learn how that purpose affects us personally. With that in view, we warmly invite you to attend the “Divine Purpose” District Assembly of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

All in attendance will greatly benefit from hearing discussed Biblical information that can prepare them for what we may yet face in the short time remaining before the end of the present system of things and the incoming of God’s new order of righteousness. Recognizing where we are living in the stream of time, we encourage you to get the full benefit from the entire program, not missing any part of it.

Many people today are depressed and disappointed by what they are seeing and experiencing in the world. They ask, ‘Is this life all there is?’ Any who might feel that way can be certain that the program will be most upbuilding and encouraging to them. They will rejoice in coming to know just what has been taking place in the outworking of God’s “eternal purpose.”

In view of all the difficulties and disturbances in the world, you will delight to hear the many sound reasons for putting confidence in God’s purpose. These will especially come to the fore at the climax of the assembly, on Sunday afternoon when the public talk will be delivered. The stirring theme under consideration then will be “Human Plans Failing as God’s Purpose Succeeds.”

Other delightful features of the assembly program include three moving Bible dramas, each with its vital lessons for our time. Doubtless your enjoyment of these dramas would be enhanced by reading beforehand Ac chapters 8 to 28 of the Bible book of Acts, 1 Kings 12:25–13:34, Exodus 12:21–15:25, Numbers 12:1–14:45 and Nu 16:1–17:13.

Each day of the four-day “Divine Purpose” District Assembly two sessions will be held. At most of the assemblies the first session will begin at 9:55 a.m. and last until 1:00 p.m. The afternoon session will begin at 2:55 and last until 5:30 p.m. We encourage you to be on hand each day when the program starts, and to stay until the concluding prayer of thanks has been offered.

Throughout the British Isles, Canada and the United States upward of eighty-five such assemblies will be held, beginning in June. Doubtless one of these assemblies will be within reasonable traveling distance from your home. Now is the time to make definite arrangements to attend.

Do not let yourself be easily discouraged from attending because of obstacles. Last year 2,594,305 were present for these assemblies throughout the world. Among them were many who made sacrifices, but they rejoiced greatly in the spiritual blessings received.

Below are set forth the assembly locations and dates. Watchtower Convention “Rooming” addresses are given for those needing accommodations. It would be well for you, if possible, to make your request for rooms about six weeks before the convention date. Rooming request forms are available at each Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Be assured of a spiritually upbuilding and joyful time as you attend the assembly; the greater your spiritual appetite, the more you will enjoy this spiritual feast.​—Matt. 5:3.
