A FERIA–Thousands of delegates from many parts of South Texas will be coming to La Feria this summer to enjoy 9 three-day, Bible-based conventions at the Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 1701 South Parker Road.
The 2015 series begins June 26th and ends on August 14, 2015. It was announced that seven of the conventions will be in Spanish, two will be in English. The theme of this year’s convention program is “Imitate Jesus.” The Friday, Saturday and Sunday program will include Bible-based talks, demonstrations and video presentations designed to appeal to all age groups.
La Feria Center to host 10 three-day conventions.
The entire program will highlight the life of Christ Jesus, the founder of Christianity. He 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” conventions will examine Jesus’ life, as outlined in the Bible, and emphasize how all—regardless of their background, lifestyle, or religion—can benefit in practical ways from his example and teaching. A highlight of the program will be the keynote address on Friday morning entitled, “Concealed in Him Are All the Treasures of Wisdom.”
These conventions this summer in La Feria are part of 456 similar assemblies that will be presented in 29 languages by Jehovah’s witnesses around the globe. Worldwide, there are over 8,000,000 Witnesses in more than 115,000 congregations. Admission is free. Collections are never taken at Witness conventions.
