Announcing From Above 2013!

Reflections for Trinity 11-16 2012 are now available for download.

We have two retreats coming up in August.

Nearly 200 Lutheran youth have gathered at Brock this week for the Higher Things Lutheran youth conference, running today through Friday at the Concordia Lutheran Seminary.

Higher Things is halfway through this year's conference season! Nearly 1300 Lutheran youth, chaperones, and pastors attended the North Carolina and Missouri conferences the past two weeks.

The Higher Things Twelve Conference, Maryville, Missouri - Higher Things is happy to report that the Rev. Jonathan Fisk, Higher Things Board Member and Worldview Everlasting host is alive and well after a freak accident involving an inflatable laser-tag arena and his face. Shortly before the Thursday Evening Prayer service, staff phones around the campus lit up with the alert from our Higher Things Conference Entertainment Coordinator, Mrs. Tracey Dann, that blood was streaming from Pastor Fisk's nose and could he be taken to the Emergency Room.

Higher Things presents the next set of Daily Reflections for the 5th through 10th Sundays after Trinity, July 8 through August 18, 2012. As always, these Reflections are chock full of Jesus and available in all multiple formats:

We'd like to have as many people attend our conferences each summer, even if it's just for a little while! Come and learn what Higher Things is all about, and join us for a day!

Rev. David Kind has stepped down from his position on the Board of Directors of Higher Things and as its Vice-President. The ongoing controversy involving his congregation, University Lutheran Chapel - Minneapolis, requires his undivided attention and energy at this time. David has served Higher Things in a number of capacities as director, Vice-President, conference speaker and chaplain, bringing a deep knowledge of doctrine and practice, a love for the liturgy, a zeal for campus and youth ministry, not to mention remarkable standards of grooming. We will miss both him and his hair very much. I thank David for his time and the use of his considerable talents that have contributed much toward Higher Things growth and influence. We wish him well and pray our Lord's richest blessing upon him and his congregation.

Higher Things is pleased to announce the next set of Daily Reflections are now available. Though Christ has ascended, yet He is still with His church, among us by water, Word, body and blood. These Daily Reflections begin with the Festival of Pentecost and take us into the beginning weeks of the Trinity Season.
