Jehovah’s Witnesses will be holding their annual 3-day convention at the Berglund Center Coliseum July 3-5. The theme of this year’s program is “Imitate Jesus!”
Leo Cormier, Jr. a convention spokesman, states: “Jesus, the founder of Christianity, is widely considered as one of the most influential and significant men who ever lived. As Christians, a core belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses is that Jesus lived His life as a model for us to follow. The “Imitate Jesus!” convention will examine Jesus’ life as outlined in the Bible, and emphasizes how all, regardless of background, lifestyle, or religion, can benefit in practical ways from his example and teachings.
A highlight of the program will be the keynote address on Friday morning entitled “Concealed in Him Are All the Treasures of Wisdom”
Jehovah’s Witnesses will also discuss the keys to family happiness during their 2015 “Imitate Jesus!” The convention series will demonstrate how Jesus’ example can give parents and children the tools to build stronger and more united families. The program will also include a stimulating examination of Jesus’ famed Sermon on the Mount. Randolph Hare, is spokesman for the convention program, explains: “Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount offers timeless advice that can help parents to be better use of their time and resources to build a more secure and loving family environment.
Jehovah’s Witnesses invite people of all ages to attend. Sessions begin at 9:20 a.m. on all three days of the convention. Admission is free. Conventions of Jehovah’s Witness are supported entirely by voluntary donations. Jehovah’s Witnesses in the United States are organizing 453 conventions, in 29 languages, in 124 cities. Worldwide, there are over 8,000,000 Witnesses in more than 115,000 congregations.
