The brochure features information that will aid such persons to become better acquainted with the organization and the work that we are doing. Copies may also be provided to other interested persons and groups who request such information. Congregations may order a small supply of this publication for such purposes.

If your congregation is scheduled to have a circuit overseer’s visit or a circuit assembly during January, then these special talks may run over into the month of February.
