After Two Years, Jehovah’s witnesses Set To Resume Kingdom Hall Meetings

All congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are being encouraged to begin holding in-person meetings the week of April 1.

For most of the past two years, buildings for worship have been closed due to the risks of meeting in person.

Jehovah’s Witnesses also suspended their public ministry on March 20, 2020. Since that time, they have carried out their ministry through letters and phone calls while holding twice-weekly virtual meetings.

Average attendance in those meetings exceeded 1.5 million each week, even though there are fewer than 1.3 million Jehovah’s Witnesses in the nation.

“There is a collective shout of joy among Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world right now,” said a reliable source.

The move back to in-person meetings lines up with two global events being held in all nationwide congregations of Jehovah’s witnesses. The first is a special lecture scheduled for April 10, called “Where can you find real hope?” The annual commemoration of the death of Jesus Christ, commonly known as Good Friday, will also be celebrated on April 15. Both of these gatherings will be held in person at local Kingdom Halls with live speakers.
