Jehovah’s Witnesses district conventions start July 3 at Coliseum The annual district conventions of Jehovah’s Witnesses are coming to Richmond beginning this weekend, officials have announced. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend the conventions, which will be held five consecutive weekends at the Richmond Coliseum. The first is Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 5.
The workshops will revolve around the theme “Imitate Jesus!” and are divided into morning and afternoon sessions. The other conventions are to take place July 10-12, which will be a Spanish language convention, with three English language conventions to follow July 17-19, July 24-26 and July 31-Aug. 2. An American Sign Language convention with the same theme
will be held Aug. 7-9 at the Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses at 5607 Midlothian Turnpike on South Side. The conventions are free and open to the public. The district events are among 453 conventions of the denomination taking place across the United States. For more information: www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/ conventions.

Cary St., in the West End from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. July 11. Music workshops and classes are scheduled in the morning, including a consortium led by Bryan Andrew Wilson, Dr. Larry D. Reid and music industry executives. A praise party will be held at 6 p.m., with performances by Dr. Reid, Peggy Britt & Unison, Donté McCutchen, Zion’s Voice, Mel Holder, Kim Robinson and others. The event is free to the public. The 6th Annual Gospel Music Fest will follow the next day at 5 p.m. July 12 at Dogwood Dell in Byrd Park.

Angelic praise dance Members of Roses and Wings Girls Mentoring Program perform a praise dance to “Amazing Grace” last Saturday at Forest Hill Presbyterian Church on South Side. The occasion was the 6th Annual Roses and Wings Graduation and Youth Fashion Show. Twelve girls, ages 6 to 16, completed another year with the Richmond-based nonprofit program led by Margaret S. Johnson, right. Through positive activities, the program seeks to instill self-confidence in girls and equip them with life skills. The event also featured a fatherdaughter dance and a lunch buffet.
