Thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses are gathering at the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth this weekend for the final summer convention in Georgia.

The three-day event, which runs through Sunday, will focus on the quality of loyalty during their 2016 “Remain Loyal to Jehovah!” Convention. At least 7,000 people are expected to attend.

Keith Smith, a spokesman for the convention program, said in a statement that Jehovah's Witnesses have been involved in an extensive campaign across North Georgia.

“Loyalty can be a challenge…at work, in the family, in our personal lives and in our relationship with God. All too often, disloyalty is fracturing our lives and communities,” he said.

There is no charge to attend the convention at the Infinite Energy Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway.
