I just got back from Reading PA for the 'Guided by God's Spirit' District Convention. It was awesome. All the talks showed how Holy Spirit affects every aspect of our worship.
Friday covered the role of holy spirit in creation, how faithful ones of old were guided by it, and it's role in working out Jehovah's purpose now and in the future.
Saturday showed us practical help in being directed by Holy Spirit in our ministry, and the results of which. It also shows how it directs us in our personal lives.
Sunday covered all the fruits of the spirit as found in Galations 5:22,23. The drama in the afternoon was excellant. It had some strong lessons about not becoming complacent in our worship, and keeping our love strong.
I want to go again for an afternoon or two over the summer. I got notes on almost everything, but I spent about 70% of the program in the nursing mother room listening in on radio. There were a few talks I missed in there. JR missed just about everything. He was responsible for making sure people didn't pull the fire alarms throughout the facility. He's going to see if he can get an audio of the convention to listen to.
If anyone wants to share their notes with me, let me know! I would love to look at them on the talks I missed.

We were in Reading too, the last weekend in July. I have copious notes and a complete recording on MP3. I read somewhere that we shouldn't record prayers, but I don't know how authoritative the counsel was. I don't know how to edit them out anyway. I guess I'll have to learn how if I find out that I should. I'll ask Uttam to put them on his secure FTP server for you later. Remind me if I forget, okay?
I want to re-listen to the talk that contrasted the spirit of the world with the spirit of God. The speaker defined the world's spirit in such an interesting way, the part that I remember is that it's a lot of thoughtless crowd-following. I really want to work on NOT being a "forgetful hearer," and try to consciously identify some changes in my life that resulted directly from the convention program.
