It’s several weeks into summer and the Spainhower family of Springville could be headed to a theme park, the beach, or even visiting grandparents for the weekend. Instead, Skylar and Julie Spainhower and their two kids are eagerly anticipating a three-day convention with a few thousand people who will come to hear some exciting good news!
“This isn’t just another convention,” Skylar said. “There is a joyful buzz in the air as we get to be together with family and friends and to be part of something that will keep us happy and hopeful. It’s also an opportunity to enjoy the popular restaurants in Ogden.”
One of the largest convention organizations in the world returns to the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah, with a much-anticipated motivational program to comfort and encourage the public.
In a world where bad news endlessly streams on social media, TV, and radio, Jehovah’s Witnesses will present their 2024 “Declare the Good News!” convention series beginning the weekend of June 28- 30, 2024. The free, three-day live event is expected to draw more than 7,900 attendees to the city over the course of two weekends– fueling the city’s economy with local spending at stores, hotels, and restaurants.
“We are excited to be hosted for another year by the Dee Events Center in Ogden,” said Shammah Cline, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “Thousands of people from Idaho, Wyoming and Utah come to experience some positivity in their lives and feel refreshed over a three-day weekend.”
The “Declare the Good News!” Convention will present Bible-based videos, discourses, and interviews on topics such as:
• Why Do We Need Good News?
• “Everlasting Good News” – In What Sense? • Why We Don’t Fear Bad News.
Saturday features a baptism of candidates from surrounding communities, while a two-part video series will captivate the audience 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.
