Though there are over 8.6 million Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses around the world, over 20 million people attended the event last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is an event that can provide hope and joy for our day-to-day life, and for our futures,\u201d said Mark Helmbold, spokesperson for Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses. \u201cThe whole community, including those who are not Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, are invited to join us in reflecting on this pivotal event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The one-hour event will feature a talk highlighting the significance of Jesus\u2019 death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A special campaign will be launched during March 2024 to invite local residents to attend the annual observance of the Lord\u2019s Evening Meal as well as a special public talk that will be delivered the week before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Titled \u201cThe Resurrection\u2014Victory Over Death!\u201d, the special talk will be delivered at local Kingdom Halls on the weekend of March 16 and 17, 2024. This 30-minute, Bible-based public discourse will focus on the scriptural hope of a resurrection of the dead in the near future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cMy wife and I look forward to the special talk and the Memorial of Christ\u2019s death all year,\u201d said Local resident Aaron Stich. \u201cWe always find the information in the special talk informative and very practical in our everyday lives. The memorial helps us to reflect and focus on all the things we are grateful for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More information about the 2024 memorial event and special talk is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jw.org\/en\/jehovahs-witnesses\/memorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>jw.org<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Sunday, March 24, may pass imperceptibly for many, millions around the world will gather at sundown to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ.
