Funds Allocated to Jehovah’s Witnesses Convention

 

The Raleigh City Council voted unanimously today to allocate $150,000 to the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses convention that will be held at PNC Arena in 2013. The funds will be allocated contingent upon the Jehovah’s Witnesses doing a community service project in Raleigh.

 

The City of Raleigh has made annual contributions to the Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses convention since 2008. The convention, held in Raleigh since 2007, attracts Jehovah’s Witnesses congregations from across eastern and central North Carolina.
