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.

For the past twelve years, Higher Things has been holding summer conferences for Lutheran youth. This year, with the theme of "Twelve," attendees will learn about the Church and the End Times. We invite you to worship and learn with us! Once again, we are offering "Higher Things for a Day" registrations that provide an opportunity to attend one of our conferences for one day a time! This one-day registration is perfect for those who as of yet don't know much about Higher Things to come and check things out for themselves, experiencing a day in the life of a conference attendee. It's also a great chance for those who can't get away for the entire 4-day conference to come for a part of it.

Time to get creative! How do YOU dare to be Lutheran? We want to see your film short at the Twelve conferences this summer! Here's a project your groups can start working on now...

Rev. Marcus T. Zill, our Christ on Campus executive and a founding member of Higher Things, has indicated to our Board of Directors that he would like to devote his time and energy toward steering the upcoming UNWRAPPED-2013 National LCMS Campus Ministry Conference in January (http://unwrapped2013.org).

Now available: Higher Things Daily Reflections for the Easter Season 2012. These Reflections take us from our Lord's triumph on Easter Day, April 8, 2012 through the seven weeks of the Easter Season to the Eve of Pentecost, May 26, 2012. We also have new formats so you can read the Reflections on your iPhone or iPad, Kindle or any PDF capable device!

You can receive them in a variety of formats. You can subscribe to have them delivered directly to your email inbox or read them here on our website on the "Reflections" page. You can also download them in a printable booklet, an IN LINE format great for your computer or mobile device, or in an ebook format for Kindle.

Rev. Mark Buetow wrote an article about how "Lent Ain't About You" posted here: http://dtbl.org/4668.

We post videos each week on our Youtube channel and on our Video short page: http://dtbl.org/4320.
