No. Once all the anointed are united with Jesus in the heavenly Kingdom, the Memorial will no longer be observed.
We will in the meantime keep proclaiming the death of our Lord Jesus until he arrives to set matters straight regarding the earth and all mankind.
Some who partake of the bread and wine are not worthy to do so and will be deemed as guilty.
1 Corinthians 11:26-27

I just got back home from attending the Memorial, we had so many attending tonight!!
The moon is blood red, by the way. (West Coast here we have *fine* view)
anyways.... we're reminded (near the conclusion of the talk) that it will eventually come to be our last and final memorial (sometime) as we get closer & closer to the end. Our Hall has no partakers.
Q. Will the Memorial occur annually forever?
No, it will end eventually cease as all the Anointed would be gathered up in Heaven (at some point in time after or during the out break of the Great Tribulation)
Again. Not all who partake are true anointed christians (or who they claim they are). The upcoming Great Tribulation will reveal 2 things: (1) Who truly are of the Anointed, and (2), who truly are Real christians on the inside. Jehovah our God is counting on us to be faithful, to remain faithful, and to each individually do our part to remain firm ---- it takes real faith to make it through the GT. The Memorial is a reminder for us not to take Christ's shed blood for granted and to *stand firm* as we draw closer & closer to the imminent arrival of the Great Tribulation.
PS: through the KM the Governing body posted the Q:" Could this be our last memorial?". (there'a lot to that Q....) But It really is telling us that the end so so close.

Specifically, at 1 Corinthians 11:26 the Apostle Paul was referring to Jesus' words at Luke 22:19,20 where he concluded with his disciples a covenant for a kingdom.
1 Cor. 11:26 states: "For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, UNTIL HE ARRIVES."
So the observance of the memorial of Christ's death takes place annually only up until that time. Then, as 1 Thessalonians 4:17 explains, "Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with the Lord."
That refers to those spirit anointed ones who partake of the bread and wine emblems at the Memorial. Then, when that remnant remaining on earth at the coming of Christ are raised to their heavenly estate to join their spirit anointed brothers already there, [to reign as kings and priests with Christ in his kingdom] that will fulfill that covenant and no further memorializing will be necessary. [see Revelation 14:1,4; 20:4,6]
