Jehovah’s Witnesses convention here in July
Jehovah’s Witnesses from Florida, Georgia and Alabama will attend an annual convention at the Columbus Civic Center in July.
Convention spokesman William Goodman announced that about 9,400 people are expected to attend the event to be held over two weekends, July 1-3 and July 8-10.
You do not have to be a Jehovah’s Witness to attend. Goodman said the event is free to the public.
The theme of this year’s convention is “Remain Loyal to Jehovah!”
Goodman said the convention will examine the loyalty of Jesus to his father Jehovah God as outlined in the Bible and will emphasize how all people can develop a stronger relationship with friends, family and God.
On Saturday afternoon a feature length video “Hope For What We Do Not See” will be shown.
“Over the next three weeks we will be out inviting people here to attend this special event. We are all looking forward to being back in Columbus,” Goodman said.
