Belgrave Convention Centre will be hosting a four-day Easter Convention from Friday 15 April until Monday 18 April. Called Heroes and Hope, the program will feature guest speakers, prayer and activities.

Belgrave Heights Convention CEO Geoff Gawler said there will be three sessions a day with teenager and children’s programs running as well.

“People can come and stay, but at this stage, most people come and visit for a session or two or three,” he said.

“There are teenager and kids programs as well, where they have their own teaching sessions.”

The sessions start at 10am, 2pm and 7pm from Friday to Sunday with seminars between the latter two, and at 9.30am, 11.30am and 2.30pm on Monday 18 April.

Pastors David Roberson, Guy Mason and Barry Borneman will run programs throughout the day, with other events like sausage sizzles, young adult events from 8.30pm and a bookstore planned.
