Two regional Jehovah’s Witness conventions are planned at the Toyota Center in Kennewick this month, each expected to draw more than 5,000 people.

The first is July 15-17. That program will be in English.

The second is in Spanish and runs July 22-24.

Jehovah’s Witnesses from the Tri-Cities and throughout the Mid-Columbia will attend. Church members also have been out in the community, extending personal invitations to check out the sessions.

This year’s theme is “Remain Loyal to Jehovah.”

The program will include 49 presentations exploring the theme of loyalty, with nearly three-dozen videos set to be shown, along with two short films and music videos, a news release said.

“We’re hoping that with the program designed as it is, folks with leave with a better appreciation of how important loyalty is in our lives,” said Robert Tomchuk, an elder in the north Richland congregation.

Sessions start at 9:20 a.m. each day.

Admission is free, and no collection is taken. All are welcome.
