THE Christian organisation Jehovah’s Witnesses will hold their annual convention from July 15-17 at the Leonora National Track and Field Centre, West Coast Demerara. The three-day programme will feature 49 presentations, each exploring the theme of “loyalty.” Additionally, the Witnesses have prepared 35 video segments specifically for the programme, plus two short films that will be shown on Saturday and Sunday. Each day, the morning and afternoon sessions will be introduced by music videos recorded for the convention.
As they have in years past, the Witnesses have been distributing a special invitation to the public welcoming them to attend the programme. Additionally, the trailers for the two short films can be viewed on the Witnesses’ official website, jw.org.
Bony De Andrade, a spokesman for the convention, stated: “We strongly believe that loyalty is an essential part of any healthy relationship. Our convention this year features content that will help people develop stronger bonds with friends, family members and, above all, with God. We are confident that all who attend will enjoy this programme.”
There is no admission fee and no collection will be taken. Conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses are supported entirely by voluntary donations.
The programme will begin each day at 09:20 hrs. An estimated 6,000 will be at the Leonora National Track and Field Centre for the Bible-based programme.
Worldwide, there are over 8,000,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses in more than 118,000 congregations.
