Passport Not Required – Feeling at Home Wherever Jehovah’s People Gather

There’s something unforgettable about standing shoulder to shoulder with brothers and sisters from different corners of the earth, all united in worship to Jehovah. Whether it’s singing a Kingdom song in another language, sharing a smile with someone you’ve never met, or simply hearing the familiar phrase “agape love” said in a different accent—it all reinforces one beautiful truth: we are part of a global family.

For many of us, attending an international convention is more than just a special assignment—it’s a powerful reminder of the unity Jehovah has built among his people. Though our backgrounds, languages, and cultures may differ, our hearts beat with the same faith, the same joy, and the same spiritual goals.

🌍 Ever shared a songbook with someone you just met? Somehow, you’re instantly friends.

A Language We All Understand

One of the most moving aspects of an international convention is seeing how Jehovah’s organization bridges language gaps so beautifully. You might be listening through an interpreter headset or reading along in your own language, but what connects us isn’t just the words—it’s the love behind them. From the warm welcome of local brothers to the laughter shared over packed lunches, there's a universal language that binds us all: pure worship.

More Than Just a Notebook: How This Change Can Enhance Your Convention Experience

📖✨ Change isn’t always easy, especially when it comes to something as beloved as our convention notebooks. Many friends have cherished the convenience of pre-printed talk titles, and we completely understand why.

However, starting in 2025, we made the conscientious decision to remove pre-printed titles in harmony with the terms of use on JW.org. While some might see this as a challenge, many have found that this change actually enhances their convention experience!

💡 Why the Change?
We take integrity seriously. After a thorough and heartfelt review of JW.org’s terms, we determined that removing pre-printed talk titles was the right thing to do to stay in harmony with the branch’s direction.


What Makes This Notebook Special?

Even without pre-printed talk titles, this is still more than just a notebook! The thoughtful layout and special features are designed to help you get the most out of the convention:

Caring for Your Study Materials: A Small Act of Respect

We treasure our congregation Bible study sessions because they help us draw closer to Jehovah and strengthen our appreciation for His Word. But have you ever pulled out your study book only to find the cover curling, pages creased, or an accidental coffee stain from a midweek mishap? (We’ve all been there!) Taking care of our study materials isn’t just practical—it’s an expression of gratitude for the spiritual treasures we receive.

📖 A well-loved study book doesn’t have to look like it’s been through the Great Tribulation!


1. Treating Our Study Materials with Respect

Jehovah’s Word deserves the best care, and so do the study materials that help us understand it. Whether it’s our Bible, the "Lessons You Can Learn from the Bible" book, or meeting workbooks, these tools support our spiritual growth. Keeping them in good shape ensures they’ll last through years of study, family worship, and personal reflection.

Daily Bible Reading Made Simple: Enjoy a Yearly Schedule That Keeps You Going

🌱 Ever find yourself wishing for a simple way to keep up with regular Bible reading, but not sure where to start? Many brothers and sisters have discovered the joy of daily Bible reading schedules—helping them stay on track and get more out of God’s Word each day. Whether juggling family life, pioneering, or a busy work schedule, a structured plan can add refreshing consistency to your spiritual routine.


💡 Quick Thought: Just 10-15 minutes of reading each day can make a huge difference in your relationship with Jehovah—short, nourishing sessions add up over time!


1. Why Try a Daily Bible Reading Program? 📖

For some, a simple Genesis-to-Revelation path works best. Others prefer a more varied approach, mixing passages from the Hebrew Scriptures, Christian Greek Scriptures, and even Psalms or Proverbs each day. Having different “flavors” of scripture can keep things interesting and help you avoid getting bogged down in longer sections of law or prophecy.

The Power of a Handwritten Letter in a Digital World

These days, sending a quick text, email, or voice message takes seconds. But there’s something special—almost nostalgic—about receiving a handwritten letter. The care it takes to sit down, thoughtfully choose your words, and put pen to paper gives your message an irreplaceable warmth.

📬 Fact: Studies show that people are more likely to remember handwritten messages than digital ones. So if you want an invitation to be truly memorable, writing it by hand is a great way to do it!

Why a Letter Feels More Meaningful

Have you ever found an old letter tucked away in a drawer and felt instantly transported to the moment you received it? That’s because handwritten notes feel personal. The extra effort shows thoughtfulness in a way that digital messages just can’t match.

Make the Memorial Special: Kid-Friendly Stationery and Letter-Writing Tips

Handwritten letters have a warmth that digital messages simply can’t match. For children, crafting notes can be a meaningful way to invite others to the Memorial. Not only do they practice communication skills, but they also learn how to share their faith in a sweet, personal way. Even a short letter may plant a seed of curiosity, letting the recipient know just how important this occasion is.

✏️ Tip: Let younger kids practice saying their invitation out loud first. It helps them refine their message before putting pen to paper, boosting both clarity and confidence!


💌 Small Letters, Big Impact

When children carefully choose words for their invitations, they’re more mindful of how the recipient might feel. A short hand-drawn illustration or a sweet greeting can go a long way toward opening someone’s heart to learn more. Those little letters show thoughtfulness that can stand out in our fast-paced world.

💡 Fun Idea: Encourage kids to add a small caricature of their family or a simple doodle of a Bible scene or of paradise. It keeps them engaged and personalizes each invitation.
