What's Happening in Guyana
The brethren and sisters in Guyana have decided to produce an interesting newsletter about what is happening there and I am sure it will be not only stimulating and unifying, but encourage even more interest in the Truth in Guyana, it could be an example followed in other areas with considerable benefits.
Planned Activities
Preaching Committee The three Demerara Ecclesias got together and formed a preaching committee with the intention of elevating the level of preaching activity in Guyana. We met regularly at the Eccles Hall. At the end we were blessed with the presence of Sis Worrell (visiting from Canada) who made very significant contributions to the deliberations. We considered a number of activities, including the following media: Open Air meetings, radio talks, newspaper advertisements, correspondence courses, first principle classes, special lectures, and even face-fook. Each area was assigned to a particular Brother/Sister who would be responsible for initiating/supervising the activity.
Newsletter Plans were also discussed for the commencement of a newsletter - the first of such an effort in recent times - with effect from April, the purposes of which are:
a) Keeping local as well as overseas brethren
abreast of various important plans and activities being undertaken;
b) Serving as a device for developing our literary skills in publishing important events;
c) Keeping our interest alive in the affairs of sister ecclesias;
d) Enhancing the communication channel between ecclesias;
e) Including a news-sheet by each Youth Circle, summarizing points of interest to them.
