 Thanks to everyone who has supplied us with pictures from their week at The Feast. Check out the gallery here.
Have fun looking through all of these pics, and please feel free to send us some more to us. Don't worry about file size either. We can handle everything you can send our way. How are they going to be used? You never really know. They might just end up online, in a magazine post-conference collage or future Higher Things publication or brochure. Enjoy, Pastor Zill, Coordinator The Feast |

 They wore shirts that everyone wanted. And they proved why they got them!!!
This years Christ on Campus Student Volunteers simply demonstrated to everyone at The Feast the spirit of togetherness that is Higher Things. They helped with registration. They helped videotape the plenary sessions. They carted the crew's stuff everywhere. They endured being called "Mullet Heads" by yours truly. They helped out at all the sectionals, passed out evaluations and did just about a little bit of everything to help make the conference run smooth.
And they even had the time and strength to move this rock and balance it on the top of all the other rocks at the Garden of the Gods! Now only Purple People could do that!
The Christ on Campus Student Volunteer program is a wonderful opportunity for college students to have a chance to come to a conference at a reduced rate, play a major part in the behind the scenes work that makes our conferences what they are, and make lasting friendships. 
We had Christ on Campus Student Volunteers in 2003 (Arlington) and 2004 (Seattle) but took a year off from the program last summer (St. Louis). This year's Purple People demonstrated to Higher Things Nation why we won't ever do so again.
So look out next year as we will have twice the number of Christ on Campus Student Volunteers!
Thanks gang! You were simply the best! Props to the Purple People!

 Dear everyone,
Somehow we at Team Feast ended up with about 100-150 leftover large tan conference shirts. Sorry but no purple ones and yes, they are all large size. We sold quite a few at the end of the conference, but we still have many left. One of my deacons (and a college student volunteer at The Feast, Brian Pierson) and I would like to see you have the extras instead of us. So if you would like to get a few extras for yourself, others you know, or people who couldn't make it to the Feast we will be selling them until August 31 or as long as supplies last. To see pictures of the shirts: http://blog.higherthings.org/hthings/files/Feast_ShirtFront.jpg
http://blog.higherthings.org/hthings/files/Feast_ShirtBack.jpg The prices are as follows (these prices include shipping):
1 for $8
2 for $14
3 for $18
Or you can get bigger quantities for even less:
6 for $30
10 for $40
Want a different quantity or have questions? Simply e-mail us at thefeast@higherthings.org.
Again, this sale on Large Tan Feast Conference Shirts is good until August 31 or as long as supplies last.
Please make checks payable to "Higher Things" and send to:

Our look at the HT-U Sectionals at The Feast concludes with a short
examination of "HT-U: Campus Ministry - Just Add Water"
Do you have a college near you? Would you like to learn how to
begin a campus ministry outreach at a local college(s) on a shoestring
budget?
Get some help getting started from a panel of campus pastors that
represent several different types of campus ministry models: full-time,
part-time, and
a contact congregation. This sectional is designed to be
tailored to your specific campus situation and provide practical help and
support.
Learn from Rev. Marcus Zill (University of Wyoming, Rev. David Kind
(University of Minnesota - Twin Cities) and Rev. Derek Roberts (University
of
Tennessee), and Rev. Rob Jarvis (University of Minnesota-Morris).
So join the Christ on Campus Team and not only get some great advice,
but learn about how Chris ton Campus can help you as you seek to gift the
college
students that you have the opportunity to serve.

Dear everyone,
Now that you have a good idea what your housing situation is going to be like you are perhaps wondering how you are supposed to get where you are going once you get out to Colorado Springs.
Well, here you go:
http://higherthings.org/files/Feast_Arrival.pdf
I suggest you print off this document and keep it with your stack of stuff (like such things as those medical release forms)
This is your "everything you need to know about how to get to where you register, what you will get when you register, and what you do if all sorts of other stuff happens that you haven't thought through yet and you don't quite make it on time in order to register" document.
Blessings on your travel preparations!
Fraternally in Christ,
Rev. Marcus Zill, The Feast
Conference Coordinator

Dear everyone,
As you make your final preparations, I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see the absolute final schedule. This is so final that it's directly out of the absolutely stunning conference handbook itself:
http://higherthings.org/files/Feast_Schedule.pdf
This year in addition to having the schedule in the handbook (did I mention it was stunning? :-), we are also going to provide a mini-sized schedule that you can fold and keep in the pocketed lanyards that will be provided to everyone by Colorado College.
In the past I've been tempted myself to just rip the schedule out of the handbook so I didn't always have to have my handbook with me. Well, not only would you obviously not want to do that (did I mention that these handbooks are very nice? :-), but you won't have to either.
Enjoy.
Fraternally in Christ,
Rev. Marcus Zill, The Feast
