SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - In the weeks leading up to the highly anticipated Special Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, local Witnesses from across Northern California are warmly inviting their neighbors to attend this unique international event at the Golden 1 Center from Aug. 1 through Aug. 3. 

More than 3,000 international delegates from 14 countries, including Australasia, Canada, Ecuador, Fiji, France, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Scandinavia, Tahiti and Taiwan, will join thousands of local attendees to experience the uplifting “Pure Worship” convention program.

This special gathering highlights the global unity and joy of shared worship, transcending language and culture. 

“We are thrilled to welcome so many international friends to Sacramento,” said Adrian Barnes, regional spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “It will be an unforgettable experience, not just for our visiting delegates, but for our entire community. We hope our neighbors will take this opportunity to attend and enjoy the positive and encouraging program.” 

An estimated 10,000 volunteers are working diligently to prepare for the event and more than 15,000 attendees are expected to fill the Golden 1 Center across the three days. The program will feature Bible-based talks, dramatic presentations, a live baptism ceremony and a high-quality audiovisual production highlighting the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

All sessions will be presented in English. The public is warmly invited to attend. Admission is free and no collections will be taken.
