The Special Assembly Day of Jehovah’s Witnesses was conducted April 19 at Bemidji High School auditorium, Bemidji.
Delegates from the local International Falls congregation were among the 821 in attendance for a program composed of talks, interviews and experiences.
The theme, “We Are the Clay — Jehovah Is Our Potter,” was based on Isaiah 64:8. The Scriptural admonition provided by means of this program increased our appreciation for the Great Potter’s wisdom, justice, power and love.
