Last weekend was our third annual youth conference called Illuminate. 300 teens and adults descended upon our church and spent the weekend worshipping and praying with each other. The thing that sets apart Illuminate from all the other "run-of-the-mill" youth rallies are two major things.
Illuminate 2009 Intro from Lee Higginbottom on Vimeo.
1) The BREAKOUT sessions are top notch. There are no "filler" classes. They always tie specifically in with the theme and have a point that complements the Major session lessons. I love the purpose behind it.
2) Instrumental worship on Friday night!
3) The quality stage designs! (my wife and Jodie Anspach did them!)
Anyway, I am still in recovery and am waiting for one good night of sleep to catch up. Till then, enjoy these videos!
