In addition to meeting downtown Chicago, great speakers and breakout sessions,we have set aside some time for a few extras! While we’re downtown sign up for spiritual direction, come to the Film Viewing, get a team together to play WhirlyBall,\u00a0 and while at North Park University take a campus tour, meet students at the Internship Fair, and take a break and join us for recess at Helwig Recreation Center!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to register now, the early bird deadline is tomorrow<\/em>, December 15!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSpiritual Direction (Friday – Sunday)<\/strong>
\nThere will be two directors available for 50-minute long sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please request <\/a>a day and a time: 2-3 p.m. or 3-4 p.m. Availability is limited and requests will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis.<\/p>\n

Film Viewing (Friday PM)<\/strong>
\nEGM <\/a>is unlike other filmmakers. Our purpose is to serve by sharing true stories that take on the most difficult subjects: HIV\/AIDS, conflict in the Holy Land, and the taking of life in the Amazon. And we do not flinch when it comes to presenting raw subject matter or raising difficult questions.
\n\u2026Can a lost people begin to walk God\u2019s trail? Beyond the Gates of Splendor (2002)
\n\u2026Is man in control? End of the Spear (2006)
\n\u2026Do the choices we make matter? The Grandfathers (2009)
\n\u2026Can the stigma of HIV\/AIDS be overcome? MISS HIV (2010)
\n\u2026Will a nonviolence movement bring lasting peace? Little Town of Bethlehem (2010)
\nFinding answers to these questions is an integral part of our journey. Just as we yield to the individuals directly involved to share their perspective, we leave much of the search for understanding in the hands of those who engage in our films.<\/p>\n

WhirlyBall as a late night evening option. Cost $10\/person. (Saturday PM)<\/strong>
\nAgility. Speed. Strength. None of these qualities will be of any use in the highly-competitive world of WhirlyBall<\/a>. Although it combines lacrosse, hockey and basketball with bumper cars, WhirlyBall has caused great athletes of every stripe to laugh and holler their way to a crushing defeat. If you choose to accept the challenge, you\u2019ll use hand-held scoops to propel whiffle balls at your scoring target. In a team of five, and with the help of a professional referee, you\u2019ll have a bang-up time trying to outscore the competition.
\nAvailability is limited and there will be an additional $10 charge to participate.<\/em><\/p>\n

North Park University Tour (Sunday afternoon)<\/strong>
\nTake a tour of the North Park campus.<\/p>\n

Internship Fair Hosted by the Center for Youth Ministry Studies (Sunday afternoon)<\/strong>
\nAre you looking for an intern? Well, luck is on your side as North Park University is full of college-aged students, some of whom need an internship to graduate!<\/p>\n

\nThis incredible facility is 68,000 square-feet including a 200 meter two-lane indoor running track, batting cages, two basketball\/three volleyball courts, a 35-yard turf surface, a climbing wall, a two-level fitness area, classrooms, and offices.
