• Childrens Programs - Once again quality children's programs were provided for all age groups during Sabbath School time which was 9:20am through 10:40am., and in the afternoon from 2:30pm through 4:30pm. Since it was very important that your children were cared for in a secure environment, each child was required to register with the department when they arrived.  In order for this process to be more efficient, the registration form was published here for you to download and complete ahead of time, to turn in to the relevant teacher on the day.  2010 Registration Form. 

• Meal Arrangements - The grounds of Wheaton College* were available for picnics.  People could plan to stay for lunch and dinner.  Meals were also available at the Bon Appétit Café on campus at $6.00 per person.  Tickets had to be purchased IN ADVANCE through your local church.  Church Treasurers could contact Norma Gregory at the conference office on (630) 856-2874 to arrange for tickets for their churches.

• Baptism Service - A baptismal service was conducted at the swimming Pool in the Sports and Recreation Complex between 12:45pm and 2:30pm.  The plan was for you to enjoy your lunch and then make your way over to witness your new family members' celebration. 

• Praise Festival - We enjoyed the musical talents of the members and choirs of the Illinois Conference churches and the inspiring and moving personal testimonies by new members that have been touched for Jesus in the past year.

• Vespers / Evening Concert - The Advent Chamber Orchestra and Andrews University Singers presented an inspiring program to end a wonderful Sabbath.
