(2) Show a scripture from the lesson that provides an answer. (3) Offer the DVD to the householder. Play one of the sample video presentations provided in the Sample Presentations feature in this issue, then discuss with the audience why it is effective.

10 min: How Did We Do? Discussion. Invite publishers to comment on how they benefited by applying points from the article “Improving Our Skills in the Ministry—Responding to an Irate Householder.” Ask the audience to relate positive experiences. Reminder: When a new song is scheduled to conclude the Service Meeting, the congregation will first watch the song to learn it. Then the song will be played again for the congregation to sign, as we do for the other songs.
