SONG OF SOLOMON 1-2
Song 132 and Prayer | Opening Comments (1 min.)
1. A Story of Unfailing Love
(10 min.)
[Play the VIDEO Introduction to Song of Solomon.]
Solomon showered the Shulammite girl with praise and offered her material riches (Ca 1:9-11)
The Shulammite girl’s unfailing love for her shepherd boy helped her to remain loyal (Ca 2:16, 17; w15 1/15 5:9-10)
TIP: When watching the Song of Solomon, take note of the signer’s role shifting and how he is positioned before each statement. For example, you will notice the Shulammite holds her hands together, King Solomon holds his lapels, the shepherd boy holds a staff, etc. This will help you understand who is speaking.

7. “The Generous Person Will Be Blessed”
(15 min.) Discussion by an elder.
When we give generously of our time and resources, blessings result. Of course, the appreciative recipient views our gift as a blessing. However, the generous giver is also blessed. (Pr 22:9) Not only does he experience joy from imitating the Creator but he also gains Jehovah’s approval.—Pr 19:17; Jas 1:17.
Play the VIDEO Generosity Brings Joy. Then ask the audience:
How have the individuals in the video experienced joy as a result of the generosity of the global brotherhood?
How have they also experienced the joy that comes from giving generously to others?
