Post-Conference T-Shirt Liquidation Sale

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:

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:

The Feast – T-Shirt Sale
1309 Grand Ave.
Laramie, WY 82070

Make sure you let us know where you want them mailed and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.

Thanks,

Pastor Zill, The Feast

Arriving at The Feast

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: https://cdn.higherthings.org/imgs/uploads/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

Final Schedule for The Feast

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:

https://cdn.higherthings.org/imgs/uploads/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
Conference Coordinator
