Come to the “Joyful Praisers” District Convention
WHAT a fine theme has been chosen for the 1995 district conventions: “Joyful Praisers”! This is certainly what Jehovah’s Witnesses are. Praisers of whom? Why, Jehovah God of course!
Jehovah is matchless, peerless, incomparable, unique in so many ways. He is omnipotent, omniscient, perfect in justice, and the personification of love. He is worthy, above all others, to receive our worship and praise.
Surely we want to be joyful praisers of him! To help us, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has arranged a fine three-day convention program, beginning in the summer of 1995. These three days will certainly be joyful ones, and every Witness of Jehovah will want to do his utmost to be present from the opening song on Friday morning until the closing song and prayer on Sunday afternoon.
