NEW YORK -- Jehovah's Witnesses launched their annual convention series on Friday. The theme this year is "Be Courageous!" The conventions will be held at venues in 180 different lands, including from 9:20 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. June 1-2 and 8-9, and 9:20 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. June 3 and 10 in the Governor's Hall at the Statehouse Convention Center, 1 Statehouse Plaza, Little Rock.
The three-day program consists of 54 presentations that will include talks, audio dramas, interviews and short videos. Additionally, a feature film entitled "The Story of Jonah -- A Lesson in Courage and Mercy" will be shown on the final day of the convention. Each day, the morning and afternoon sessions will be introduced by music videos prepared specifically for the convention.
David A. Semonian, a spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses, states in the press release: "When you look at the news today, you can clearly see that people of all ages are dealing with more anxieties and fears than ever before. It takes courage to face these pressures. We welcome everyone to this year's convention to benefit from the practical advice that's contained in the Bible."
