Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide campaign includes Irving

The evening of April 9 will be a time to remember for Jehovah's Witnesses around the world as they meet to commemorate Jesus Christ's death on behalf of humanity.

The annual event, which also draws many visitors, is called the Memorial.
 
The event includes a Bible-based talk and the passing of bread and wine as symbols of Jesus's sacrifice.
 
According to the invitation being distributed, "Jesus instructed his followers to remember, or commemorate, one special event - the sacrifice of his perfect human life. (John 3:16) On the night before he died, Jesus shared in a last supper with his apostles, during which he told them: 'Keep doing this in remembrance of me.' - Luke 22:19."
While Jehovah's Witnesses are well-known for their door-to-door ministry — which continues throughout the year — they are currently in the midst of a special campaign, distributing invitations for the upcoming Memorial.
 
Worldwide attendance at the event is more than double the number of Jehovah's Witnesses around the globe.
 
There are over 1,000 Jehovah's Witnesses in Irving organized into ten congregations, 3 english and 7 spanish.  The Memorial will begin at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday.  There are two Kingdom Halls in Irving:
 
2804 Rock Island Rd
Irving, TX 75060
(972) 790-1914
 
4259 Conflans Rd
Irving, TX 75061
(972) 513-1914
 
The invitation also includes a special Bible talk that will be given in all Kingdom Halls around the world entitled "Is There a True Religion From God's Standpoint?"  The special talk will be given Sunday April 26th.
