□ Service Meeting:
10 min: Announcements. Mention the literature offer for May and have a demonstration using the following presentation: “Some say that if you are faithful to God, he will bless you with riches but that poverty is a sign of God’s disapproval. What do you think? [Allow for response.] Interestingly, Jesus was not a rich man. [Show Luke 9:58.] Even though this shows that Jesus was not wealthy, most would agree that he was clearly still blessed by God. By watching the Bible on DVD we can see what qualities of Jesus to imitate so that we too can be blessed. We can also learn from Jesus’ teachings why true blessings from God are even better than riches.”
25 min: “District Conventions—Powerful Testimony to the Truth.” Questions and answers. Discuss applicable “2012 District Convention Reminders.” When considering paragraph 9, invite the service overseer to explain local arrangements for distributing the invitations.
