Jehovah’s Witnesses readying annual convention

[Guest Nicole]

Jehovah’s Witnesses from across the region are preparing for their annual convention next month in St. Charles, Missouri.

A message of persevering with hope over the daily struggles of life is the theme of the two consecutive weekends, July 21 and July 28, at Family Arena in St. Charles.

“Most would agree that we live in a world of uncertainty so the significance of this event is to show how God supplies endurance to all sorts of people today,” said Bob Valenti, media services overseer for Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The convention features talks and interviews by some of the church’s elders. There will also be guest speakers from Jehovah’s Witnesses’ world headquarters in Warwick, New York.

Valenti said that what draws most people to the convention is the public discourses Sundays at 11:20 a.m.

“This will prove to be most encouraging. In addition to the entire event, it will show how individuals and families can enjoy a happy life,” Valenti said. “Our attendees walked away with renewed hope.”

All sessions are free.
