If you're in Champaign-Urbana this summer, check out the Summer Bible Study, where we'll be studying 2 Timothy using The Navigators' Life Change series.

Email noah@illininavs.org if you'd like more info!  See you in August!

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!]]>Tue, 27 Apr 2010 10:19:28 -0800http://www.illininavs.org/1/post/2010/04/last-navnight-of-the-semester.htmlJoin 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!

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

]]>Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:41:56 -0800http://www.illininavs.org/1/post/2010/03/navnight-time-change-this-week-9-10pm-followed-by-nap.htmlThis week only, NavNight will be from 9-10pm, followed by NavNight After Party (NAP).
  
Why the change, you ask?  This week is Holy Week, the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.  This Thursday is known as "Maundy Thursday" (pronounced maun-dee).  Many traditional and mainline churches celebrate Jesus' last meal with His disciples and His institution of the Lord's Supper (or Communion).  Many churches have services on the evening of Maundy Thursday.  As a staff team, we feel it is important for all of us to be connected with a local church in addition to involvement with The Navigators.  Holy Week provides a great opportunity to do so.
  
We've pushed back the NavNight time this week to free you to attend a Maundy Thursday service.  If your church doesn't have a Maundy Thursday service, we'd encourage you to tag along with a friend whose church does. 
   
So remember, NavNight this week will start at 9pm, and NAP will follow!  Welcome back, and have a great week!]]>Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:53:14 -0800http://www.illininavs.org/1/post/2010/02/navnight-this-thursday-panel-qa.htmlWe have been talking about a lot of topics these past few weeks, including the role of the body in the life of a believer, sexual identity and purity, and dating and relating with the opposite sex. That is a whirlwind of topics and we figure that, while a lot of instruction has gone on, a lot more questions are rising to the surface. This upcoming NavNight all of the staff are participating in a panel discussion. We are asking you to go to this website, http://www.illininavs.org/questions.html, and anonymously write out some questions you have.  We'll do our best to answer your questions relating to the body, purity, dating, friendships, singleness, and whatever else you can think of that deals with these topics.]]>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:08:45 -0800http://www.illininavs.org/1/post/2010/02/thursday-navnight-nap.htmlNavNight tonight!  8pm.  Jeff will be speaking.

Join us afterwards for NavNight After Party (NAP)!  See you there!
]]>Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:55:23 -0800http://www.illininavs.org/1/post/2010/01/welcome-back.htmlWe're back!  And we're starting off the semester this week!

Join us this Thursday for NavNight at 8pm at 807 W Indiana Ave to reconnect with friends, worship, and hear a great message from Norm on a vision for the world.  NavNight After Party (NAP) will follow!      

PLUS, join us Friday night at the Hubbard's for a welcome back Soup and Pie Night!  Rides will leave the Undergrad Library pulloff at 6:15pm.  If you're able to bring some soup or a pie, please do so!
