“Jesus instructed his disciples to love God with their whole heart, soul, and mind,” said an event spokesman. “This year’s assembly has been designed to help us strengthen the person we are on the inside. As you will recall, the theme of our district convention last year was ‘Safeguard Your Heart!’ The special assembly day program, held last fall, had as its theme, ‘Safeguard Your Conscience.’”
About 1,000 persons are expected to gather for the annual two-day assembly. The sessions, featuring talks and interviews, will begin at 9:50 a.m. each day and will conclude at 3:55 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
