Call attention to the portion of the instructions that state: “The weekly Bible reading has long been a feature of our Theocratic Ministry School. The Bible reading is a rewarding experience that can be enjoyed regularly by setting aside just a few minutes each day, perhaps early in the morning or before retiring at night, to watch and meditate on the assigned scriptures. Explain that if the Bible reading consists of the opening chapters of a book, the brother caring for the highlights will no longer develop material from the “Jehovah’s Word Is Alive” Watchtower articles. In addition, review the adjusted instructions for presenting Assignments No. 2 and No. 3. Encourage all to be diligent in fulfilling their assignments, in participating during the Bible highlights, and in applying the suggestions given weekly from the Ministry School book.
15 min: “How to Prepare Effective Introductions.” Questions and answers. Demonstrate two introductions for offering Bible Teach—On DVD, one that is not effective and afterward, one that is.
