More than 9 million Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are inviting the public to attend the annual Lord’s Evening Meal, on April 2, 2026.
The global observance is one of two events designed to highlight the Bible’s promise of a better future for mankind.
The annual observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal will feature a talk highlighting what Jesus taught about mankind’s future.
“The life and teachings of Jesus have great significance to so many around the world. We hope this event, an observance recognised by Christians continuously for almost 2,000 years, helps visitors see how it connects us to a wonderful hope,” said Olusegun Eroyemi, National Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nigeria.
During the campaign, the Witnesses will also extend an invitation to a special public talk titled “Who Will Restore the Earth?” It will be delivered in March 2026 in the more than 118,000 congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide.
The 30-minute program will address what the Bible says about:
• Man’s relationship to the earth
• Earth’s future restoration and
• How to benefit from the Bible’s promises
It was almost 2,000 years ago on Nisan 14 of the Jewish calendar, 33 C.E., that Jesus instituted the Lord’s Evening Meal with his apostles. That evening, Jesus commanded, as recorded at Luke 22:19, “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
The Witnesses obey that commandment every year on the corresponding day as a reminder of how the biblical hope of a restored earth is possible. More than 21 million people attended the Lord’s Evening Meal last year.
