Illini Navigators

Make your own exotic burgers tonight!  Come for food, fun, and games.  Meet at 6pm at the Undergrad Library loop for rides.  See you then!

Freshmen/Sophomores:  bring a burger topping (not ketchup, mustard, or mayo)
Juniors/Seniors:  bring a side (chips, salad, etc) or a dessert.

See you tonight!

Join us tomorrow for the first NavNight of the semester!  It'll be a great night of worship, teaching from the Bible, and fun- all in a family-like atmosphere!  Invite your friends.  We'll start at 8pm at 807 W Indiana Ave, just across from McKinley Health Center.  Click NavNight Directions for more detailed location info, bus info, and a map.  NavNight will be followed by NavNight After Party (NAP).  Join us for some great food and time to connect with new friends.  We can't wait to see you there!

Those of you who joined us for volleyball last night at the sand courts noticed that the lights weren't working and volleyball was difficult.  Anticipating that it might happen again, we decided to switch to Wallyball instead.  Wallyball is a fun version of volleyball played inside a racquetball court.

Make sure and wear shoes as we'll be inside, and bring your I-Card, or you won't be able to get in.  Meet at the ARC at (or a little before) 9pm, and head to the racquetball courts.  We'll try and have someone waiting in the lobby as well.

Call or text Noah with questions.  715.225.2872  If you invited friends to volleyball tonight, make sure they know about the change!

Welcome back!  Quad Day yesterday was a success.  We received info from many of you who were interested in checking out the Illini Navs.  If you weren't able to get to us at Quad Day, please goto the Contact page and shoot an email to one of the staff.  We'd love to get you connected.

Make sure to join us this week.  You'll have several opportunities to do so!  Come play Volleyball and other yard games this Monday and Tuesday at 9pm at the volleyball courts at Stadium and Oak (near the Ikenberry Commons).  And whatever you do, be sure you come and check out NavNight, and see what The Navs are really about.  We're excited to meet you and help you to take significant steps on your spiritual journey.  Have a great first week.

Fall semester is rapidly approaching.  The staff team has begun to set our sights on Quad Day and our launch into the semester.  We're praying that God will move mightily, using all of us to impact the University with the Gospel.  Check back in the coming weeks for news and ways to connect with the Illini Navigators this August!

Thanks for an awesome year.  We hope you have a blast trusting God wherever He may be leading you this summer.

Reading Day Eve
Wednesday at 7pm @ Noah and Katie's house
705 W Green St, Champaign (7 blocks W of Neil on Green)
Parking available on New St
Bring a wrapped textbook!
Rides leave Undergrad Library loop at 7pm
You may be asking yourself, "Self, what's up with the wrapped textbook?"

If you were at NavNight this past week, you know that according to Illini Legend, on the night of Reading Day Eve, the Chancellor comes while students are sleeping and brings textbooks for all the good boys and girls in the dorms.  If you weren't at NavNight,  click on the Video tab and check it out. (ps. the dates on this version of the video are old, ignore them)

SO, we'd like you to bring a textbook (or another book) that you don't need anymore, wrapped in newspaper, wrapping paper, or whatever else you can find.  We'll be exchanging them White-Elephant style, which is sure to be a hoot.

Norm will also be reading "Twas the Night Before Reading Day", and a campfire (with SMORES) will follow.  You don't want to miss it!

Join us for the last NavNight of the semester this Thursday at 8pm.  We'll be hearing from some more of our seniors as a part of the night, worship, a great message from Norm, and info about the Reading Day Eve party and summer Bible Study.  And, of course, NavNight will be followed this week by NavNight After Party (NAP).  Hope to see you there!

This upcoming week will be a busy one!  See the calendar below for detailed times/locations.   

Tuesday brings opportunities to hear from Dr. J,  a young earth creationist.  He'll present a perspective different from those you'll usually hear on campus.  All are welcome to attend, even skeptics.

Wednesday through Friday, we will be selling Threads of Hope bracelets on the Quad.  Make sure to stop in.  And of course, join us for to say goodbye to Jeff and Jess at NavNight on Thursday.  There will also be a baby shower for Jess and of course Ultimate on Friday.

Woo, I'm winded!  Busy week, but lots of awesome opportunities.  Check the calendar below for details and make plans to attend!
