Spring Residents to Enjoy Global Event Promoting Pursuit of Peace
2022 "Pursue Peace" Convention Unites 239 Countries in More Than 500 Languages
Against the tragic backdrop of a historic conflict in Europe, Spring residents will unite with millions around the globe to promote the timely theme “Pursue Peace” as they participate in a six-part annual event scheduled for July and August 2022
Jehovah’s Witnesses have been holding global conventions for more than 100 years — the last three years featuring virtual events accessed through the free JW Library app or at jw.org. The program’s first segment will be available for streaming or download beginning June 27, 2022. All are invited to attend the program at no charge.
“This convention is an object lesson in how peace is being achieved by a global community right now as it unites millions of people, even in areas of conflict like Ukraine and Russia,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “The power of the principles being discussed transcends national borders, ethnic differences, and language barriers. Both individuals and families will benefit from attending the program.”
