Today, I wanted to talk about a particular event that is very, very, very important. It is important from a Biblical standpoint. It is even something that Jesus commanded us to do. What am I talking about?
Memorial of Jesus’ Death
Every year, Jehovah's Witnesses, world wide, volunteer their time to invite all that they can to this very special Annual event. This is an invitation that is warmly extended to ALL. This is an invitation to meet with us to observe the anniversary of Jesus' death."You Will Be With Me in Paradise"
Just hours before he died, Jesus assured his faithful apostles that they would be with him in his heavenly Kingdom. (Luke 22:28-30) Later, he promised a condemned criminal: "You will be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43) So, how will those words come true?
Well, my dear readers, the fulfillment of both promises is possible because Jesus surrendered his life for you, for me, for all of mankind, even for sinners like that criminal mentioned above. Jesus' sacrifice was so vital that he commanded his followers to commemorate it. —Luke 22:19, 20.
This year, the anniversary of Jesus' death falls on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. And you are invited to meet with us, Jehovah's Witnesses, on that date, to observe the Memorial that Jesus instituted all those years ago. There, you will hear an explanation of how his death can benefit you and your family.
Remember Jesus’ Death

Earlier, I sent this invite message out electronically:
Hey my lady, something special and very important is coming up, the annual memorial of Christ' death, which will be observed around the world. I wanted to invite you and your family come to the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses to join us. Last year, over 19,000,000 attended. #memorial #christ #death #annualobservance #opentothepublic #Bible #religion #jw.org
Over 19,000,000! That in it's self is quite cool, if I may say so myself. I personally have been attending the memorial of Christ's death since 2006. I have not missed one... ONE! I...J...S... And it truly is wonderful for me to arrive at the Kingdom Hall and see all the new faces who have taking advantage of the invitation to attend. I am hoping that y'all will do the same as well. Come on, ain't cha just a wee bit curious? (And, it costs nothing to attend, ever!)
The following is supplemental information. Included below are some links to the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses for your consideration. Enjoy.

Why Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Observe the Lord’s Supper Differently From the Way Other Religions Do?
Also called the Last Supper or the Memorial of Christ’s Death, it is the most sacred event for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Consider what the Bible says about this occasion.
The Bible is providing answers to life’s big questions for millions of people around the world. Would you like to be one of them?
