Dear Brothers:
We are writing as a follow-up to the letters dated January 24, 2014, and March 29, 2014,
to all congregations regarding the adjustments now underway to accelerate construction of King-
dom Halls and Assembly Halls.
The postscript of the March 29, 2014, letter provided instructions for the local needs part
on the Service Meeting for the week of May 5, 2014. This includes the need to present a resolu-
tion to the congregation by no later than May 31, 2014, documenting how your congregation will
financially support Kingdom Hall and Assembly Hall construction worldwide. Please be advised
that further direction will soon be sent to the bodies of elders, which will assist you in finalizing
the monthly and one-time amount(s) you will propose to the congregation by way of a resolution.
If a survey is needed to determine the amount that can be contributed for local congrega-
tion expenses, this should be taken after reading the March 29 letter to the congregation during
the local needs part. However, the resolution to the congregation should be held in abeyance until
further direction is sent to the bodies of elders. If the congregation has already passed a resolution,
the elders should await further direction before sending the resolved funds to the branch office.
It is our privilege to be working alongside you during these momentous last days and we
want to express our warm Christian love and greetings as well as our appreciation for all of your
fine work.
Your brothers,
Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
