Well, the turnout was a little less than we had expected and some people thought it was too long (even though we clearly advertised the event going until 10pm), but it sure was a lot of fun and it was great seeing all of you again! Thanks for making it such a great event. It was a little small (we had 60 people), but it made it more friendly and praise God for bringing each of you to be touched and encouraged and having a chance to experience the love, grace, and light of Christ.

May you take what you felt at illuminate '08 and help share that with your friends that don't know Jesus. Like the girl in the video said, "please don't give up on her." Your friends are waiting for your faith to be real for them so that they too may have everlasting life and a best friend named Jesus.

Because of your enthusiasm we're gonna try to put something together again in a couple of months. Maybe you'll invite some of your non-Christian friends! Stay tuned for details :)

wow, it's here already! lot's of preparation and work on having some a great program with some awesome music and worship time. lots of new faces so come say hi and make some new friends.

i'm just now finishing videos at 5:30am so i need all you guys to come out and help me stay awake...lol :)

bring your cameras so you can remember this night. jesus loves you and wants to receive your praises tonight!

Hey, if anyone would like some invite cards to hand out to friends or church youth group, hit me back with an address and I'll mail some out. They just got back from the printer and they look great. If you want me to send them to your youth pastors, let them know about the event and have them expect the invites from me in the mail. Again, I need addresses though.

Let your friends know to help us network by adding the myspace page to their friends' list.

Hope you marked your calendars to come out and celebrate with us on 08.22.08. This is gonna be amazing!
