Jehovah’s Witnesses will present their 2024 “Declare the Good News”! convention series beginning the weekend of July 5-7. The free event is expected to draw thousands of attendees from Tallahassee and surrounding areas.

“These conventions are a highlight of the year for thousands of people who need to experience some positivity in their lives,” said Chris Poppell, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The “Declare the Good News”! convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses and interviews on topics such as: Why Do We Need Good News?, Use the Good News to Defeat Bad News and Believe the Truth About Jesus.

Saturday spotlights a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two-part video feature will be presented on Friday and Saturday mornings. Prior to each convention, local congregations will engage in a campaign to invite community members to this free event.

Last year, nearly 13 million people attended more than 6,000 three-day conventions worldwide. To learn more, visit jw.org .
