Jehovah’s Witnesses are inviting the public to attend their annual regional convention at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska.  The three-day event will take place Friday, July 6, Saturday, July 7, and Sunday, July 8, 2018.  The program begins each day at 9:20 a.m. and is free of charge.

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 program at 1:50 p.m. Each day, the morning and afternoon sessions will be introduced by music videos prepared specifically for the convention.

“Be Courageous!” is the theme of the convention. People of all ages are dealing with more anxieties and fears than ever before. It takes courage to face these pressures. Practical advice that is contained in the Bible will be featured.

A peak attendance of 6,000 is anticipated.

On Thursday, July 5, volunteers from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota will be preparing the Pinnacle Bank Arena for our many visitors.  Chairs will be arranged on the arena floor, a stage with large wall monitors will be assembled, and a baptism pool will be set up.  Also, audio and video equipment will be connected to the Pinnacle Bank Arena system, enabling everyone to hear and see the program clearly.

All sessions are open to the public and free of charge.
