Jehovah’s Witnesses plan conventions for Tulsa



TULSA—An estimated 20,400 people from 110 cities in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma will come to Tulsa over three weekends in June, July and August for a three-day event focusing on finding reliable guidance.

Local resident, Robert Fullerton of Enid, has been named to help operate the conventions.

Delegates are coming from 60 cities in central and north-central Oklahoma, including the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metro areas.

They are coming for the 2008 “Guided by God’s Spirit” district convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Donald W. Reynolds Center at the University of Tulsa will be the site of two conventions, June 27-29 and July 4-6. Additional delegates will hear the same program presented at Tulsa’s Downtown Convention Center August 29-31.

Each convention begins Friday at 9:20 a.m. and is open to the public. Admission to the convention is free, and no collections will be taken. The program will focus on why reliable guidance is needed today and where people can turn for trustworthy advice in all aspects of life.

Convention spokesman Mark Snead of Tulsa said witnesses who are associated with the Tulsa Metro’s 23 congregations anticipate an “excellent turnout for the event in view of the enthusiastic response” to last year’s convention, which had the theme “Follow the Christ!” Witnesses also look forward to welcoming many non-witnesses to the convention, Snead said, adding witnesses “believe that all who attend will benefit from the practical information presented.”
