Three weeks ago, we started having a study of the Watchtower with a few girls that we study with so that they could understand, enjoy and participate in the Sunday meeting. It's been a different group each week. This Saturday, this is who showed up! Only four of the girls have had a personal study. One of them just started last week. Seven of the kids live in a apartment building directly behind our apartment, so the boys hopped the fence and came to study the Watchtower with us. Two of them, we'd never met before they knocked at the door. Their ages range from 7-14. We start off by practicing the first song, then say a much needed prayer, study the Watchtower trying to make sure they understand the meaning, choose paragraphs they may want to comment on and help them use their own words, practice the last song and say a prayer of thanks. This takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. It has made the meeting on Sunday a joy for those that attend and participate. For those that have come by to check out what we're doing, it has opened the door to the possibility of having their own study. We treasure this special time on Saturday afternoons.
