◼ No meetings other than those for field service are to be held on Sunday, April 17, the day of the Memorial. Congregations that normally have a congregation meeting that day may move it to another day of the week. Where several congregations share the Kingdom Hall and a meeting cannot be rescheduled, the meeting may be canceled. In such cases, families are encouraged to consider the Watchtower Study material during their Family Worship evening.

◼ Field Service Highlights: We are pleased to report two new all-time peaks in the United States in September. There was a new peak of 135,825 regular pioneers and a new peak of 705,794 Bible studies. Additionally, the Turks and Caicos Islands had a new peak of 7,505 hours spent in the ministry. Indeed, Jehovah’s people are busy in this life-saving teaching work!​—1 Tim. 4:16.
