Thank You!

2008-08-06T19:55:00-06:00

As we in Higher Things continue to bask in the glow of three Christ-centered "Amen" conferences, it's time to take a moment and thank all the people who taught, worked, preached, and sang at our conferences this year.

This list is by no means comprehensive. As is always the case, all the laity who volunteered and taught, are all members in good standing of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod congregations. And all the preachers, teachers, and chaplains are rostered members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

So, thank you. Thank you for your preparation. Thank you for your time. Thank you for giving up sleep and for consuming large amounts of caffeine and sugar to stay awake. Most of all, thank you for making this year's conferences our best yet!

We'll see you at Sola!

In Christ,

Rev. George F. Borghardt III

Amen Bible Studies

2008-06-02T17:11:12-06:00

Are you going to this summer's Amen Conference? If so, Higher Things has prepared four bible studies that you and your youth group can use to get ready for the conference. They're available from our Catechesis page, or you can click on the links below to download them in PDF format.

"Amen for a Day" Registration Opens!

2008-05-01T15:23:22-06:00

Once again, Higher Things is excited to announce that we are providing an opportunity for adults to visit our conferences this summer. Many people want first-hand information about our organization and our conferences. Here's your chance to find out for yourselves!

Individuals may pre-register to attend one day of a conference for $50 if pre-registration forms and payment is received by June 15, 2008. You will be notified by June 20, 2008 if your form has been received and will be given specific information about parking, check-in, etc. Walk-in guests will be accepted at the conference Information table for a fee of $60 per day.

"Amen for a Day" registration will allow you to personally experience an entire day's worth of conference activities.

You will receive admission all catechesis sessions, worship services, and entertainment events for that day (meals and housing will be on your own), as well as a conference T-shirt and a 1-year subscription to Higher Things magazine.

Please download the "Amen for a Day" Pre-Registration Form and mail it to the Conference Registrar at the address printed in the form by June15, 2008. Questions? Email conferences@higherthings.org or call 1-888-HT-CONF08.

The Last Day!

2008-03-30T00:08:34-06:00

Not THE Last Day, but the last day to register for the 2008 Higher Things "Amen" conferences has arrived!

Gather up your registration information and fees, get online, and get your group registered TODAY! After Sunday, March 30, all new registrations must be handled and approved directly by a member of the registration and housing staff. For groups already registered, after April 1, cancellations are non-refundable and cannot be credited toward your group's final balance, and substitutions may only be made for people of the same gender and category (youth/adult).

Final balances are also due on April 1. If it seems like that came up quickly, please remember that we extended the registration period but we cannot extend the payment schedule as well. Deposits can still be accepted via online payment through PayPal, but the final balance must be paid by check or money order. Please send all registration checks to the address below:

Everett, WA 98201

If you have any last minute questions about the conferences (this year's or in general), check out the Frequently Asked Questions at our website.

Even if you don't have a group going to a conference from your church, you can help to provide some financial support for the conferences. Higher Things Conferences have a number of important expenses that can be underwritten by one or multiple donors. Some of the needs we have are:

Scholarships for CCV (Christ on Campus Volunteer) registrations so that starving college students don't have to pay any registration fees (even discounted ones). These young adults work HARD at the conferences and provide invaluable help for all the staff and other volunteers.
Conference T-shirts for all registrants. We anticipate this expense to cost about $12,000 total. These shirts are a great way for kids to take home a souvenir of their week, and provide great opportunities for them to confess their faith and what they learned when they wear them at home!
Magazine subscriptions. This year, Higher Things is providing each registrant with a 1-year subscription to Higher Things: Dare to be Lutheran magazine. Value $10,000 total.

Other questions about the conferences can be directed to conferences@higherthings.org. Specific questions about registration can be sent to registration@higherthings.org and housing concerns should be sent to housing@higherthings.org. Or, you can just call 1-888-HT-CONF08.

We also ask everyone to please keep the staff, volunteers, group leaders and especially the youth who are preparing to attend this summer's conferences in your prayers in the months and weeks ahead.

"Our Paschal Lamb, that sets us free, Is sacrificed. O keep the feast of freedom gallantly; let alleluias leap: Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia! Again, sing alleluia, cry aloud: Alleluia! Amen!

Let all our deeds, unanimous, confess Him as our Lord Who by the Spirit lives in us, the Father's living Word. Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia! Again, sing alleluia, cry aloud: Alleluia! Amen!"

(LSB #473, verses 1 and 3)

We Heard You!! 2008 Conference Registration Extended!

2008-03-01T22:39:53-07:00

While the available spots at all three Amen conferences have been filling up faster than ever, we've also been deluged with emails and calls asking us for extensions on turning in registrations and deposits. It seems that Lent and Easter sneaking up on us so early this year has made getting youth groups organized about as difficult as nailing Jell-O to a tree.

We've decided to extend registration through the week following Easter - groups now have until March 30 to register! You will continue to be able to download registration forms and register online at www.amen2008.org for nearly another month. This also allows groups who were having trouble being decisive (you know who you are!) to decide to attend one of the three Amen conferences this summer.

So why should you take advantage of this extension and send your youth to one of the 2008 Amen Conferences?

WORSHIP - Conferences provide many opportunities for youth and chaperones to participate in our best possible expression of traditional, Christ-centered, Lutheran worship. Three times a day, services are conducted from the Lutheran Service Book by LCMS pastors. The preaching and singing at Higher Things conference is an amazing thing to behold. Smaller groups are also invited to pray the service of Compline together each night before lights-out. Youth really come to appreciate the liturgical traditions of our churches when they are taught why we do what we do, so materials and opportunities to learn about our historical worship practices will be provided for groups both before and during the conferences.

WORK -"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young," St. Paul tells Timothy (1 Tim. 4:12). How can young people "Dare to be Lutheran" if they don't know what it means to be a Lutheran in this world? Catechesis (religious instruction) at Higher Things conferences is known for being fairly intense - come prepared to learn! Many people today don't think youth are capable of learning about doctrinal issues, or that they're even interested in doing so. We have found just the opposite to be true! At our conferences, youth have many, many opportunities to learn more about their faith and its uniqueness in the Christian world. Sectional workshops are offered on a variety of subjects of interest to young people to help them understand and express a faithful perspective when talking to their friends, teachers, and families. Catechetical speakers at Higher Things conferences are pastors or laity in the LCMS.

PLAY - One of the reasons youth come to conferences is to meet other Lutherans from around the world. Higher Things conferences incorporate many fun activities as an integral part of the week! Each site we visit offers new and very different ways for youth to enjoy themselves and get to know each other - baseball games, karaoke, laser tag, hiking, square dancing, bowling, and improv comedy have all been some of the ways we've had fun at past conferences. We also schedule some free time so that groups can have an opportunity to have fun together during the week as well.

For more information about the conference you can...

Visit our official conference website at www.amen2008.org.
Email us at conferences@higherthings.org.
Call us toll-free at 1-888-HTCONF-08. If one of our operators is not standing by for your call, leave a message and your call will be returned within a day.

Higher Things dares to be Lutheran, meaning that we don't hide our uncompromising emphasis on the Gospel and all that Christ has done for us. Youth tell us again and again that they love Higher Things conferences because they get to spend four days immersed in hearing the about their Savior and their Christian faith. Don't miss this additional, extended opportunity to attend one of the conferences this summer!

In Christ,

Conference Math

2008-02-20T23:16:20-07:00

With just nine days remaining in the regular registration period, two-thirds of the 2008 Higher Things conferences are more than fifty-percent to capacity! Both the Amen - St. Louis and Amen - Irvine conferences are half full.

There's still room at all three conferences, but more and more groups are registering each day! Register your group now!

Please call 1-888-HTCONF08 or email conferences@higherthings.org with any questions.

Happy St. Valentine's Day!

2008-02-14T17:00:31-07:00

Have you visited the new Amen 2008 website yet? Go to www.amen2008.org and check it out!

No doubt you've got all sorts of questions about the conferences by now. We've (hopefully) anticipated a lot of them with our FAQ page about the Amen 2008 conferences. If you still have questions after perusing this list, feel free to contact us at conferences@higherthings.org.

With just over two weeks left during the regular Registration period, things are really starting to get busy. Our Registration-o-Meter has practically begun to spin in the last few days!

We have met the preferential registration numbers for the Amen - Irvine conference, so I'm pleased to announce that everyone is welcome to register for that conference now!

And fortunately for everyone registering at the last minute, it's also Leap Year. This means you have one entire extra day to get your Registrations completed...and there is still room at all three Amen conferences in the Poconos, St. Louis, and California. Remember that registrations are not considered completed until your group's deposit is received by Higher Things. Register online today and pay your deposit with a credit card through PayPal for the fastest processing of your group's registration.

I look forward to seeing you all this summer!

In Christ,

One Month to Go!

2008-02-01T16:33:41-07:00

You've dreamed, you've planned, you've met, you've gotten excited - now it's time to get those registrations completed! The registration period for the 2008 Higher Things "Amen" conferences closes on March 1, 2008.

It's just over one more month to go before Registration closes for the 2008 Amen conferences. Even if you're just now giving the conference serious consideration, that's still practically eons to get organized in youth-ministry-time! And you even have one extra day with February 29 this year!

There's plenty of room at all three conferences in Scranton, St. Louis and Irvine - but you only have until March 1, 2008 to get your groups registered. For more information, check out our website at www.amen2008.org, email us at conferences@higherthings.org, or call us toll free at 1-800-HT-CONF08 today!

Beat the January rush!

2008-01-02T14:00:37-07:00

January has historically been the busiest time for Higher Things conference registrations. Last year, the Minneapolis "For You" conference filled up before January 15. In 2006, "The Feast" was full with over 100 people on the waiting list by the first week of February.

There's still room at all THREE locations of the 2008 "Amen" conferences, but it's best to get your registrations in sooner rather than later! Once the registrations start coming, they come quickly.

For the first time, Higher Things is having its annual Lutheran youth conference in three locations, at campuses on both the east and west coasts of the United States and smack-dab in the middle (well, close enough anyway!). Whether your group wants to explore the historic Poconos of Pennsylvania from June 24-27 or take in the fireworks and fun in St. Louis from July 1-4 or catch a few rays at the beach and visit a reknown Lutheran college in sunny Irvine, California from July 15-18, we've got a conference for you!

All sorts of other information about the 2008 "Amen" conferences, and Higher Things conferences in general, is available at our website.

Still have questions? Email conferences@higherthings.org or call 1-888-HTCONF08.

Amen Conference Plenaries Announced!

2007-11-10T23:09:12-07:00

I'm pleased to announce that the Rev. George Borghardt and the Rev. Mark Buetow will be the plenary speakers at all three Amen conferences this summer!

The Rev. George F. Borghardt III is the Assistant/Youth Pastor at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Conroe, TX. He graduated Louisiana State University with a degree in Classics and took five years to do it so that he could graduate from the Concordia Seminary with Pastor Buetow. Pastor Borghardt and Amy, his wife of eleven years, have three children: George, Thomas, and Sophia. Pastor Borghardt hates clowns, loves the Mets and is rumored to never sleep due to the amazing powers of Diet Coke. He was the Coordinator of the 2007 FOR YOU Conference in Asheville, NC and was recently appointed to serve as the Conference Executive of Higher Things.

The Rev. Mark T. Buetow, S.T.M. received his Master of Divinity in 1998 but stayed at the seminary to get his Masters of Sacred Theology because he didn't want to graduate until Pastor Borghardt did in 2000. He served Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in New Orleans for 5-1/2 years until Hurricane Katrina huffed and puffed and blew him up to Kentucky. After a brief stint as a mediocre TV salesman, Pastor Buetow was called to Bethel Lutheran Church in Du Quoin, Illinois. (Du Quoin is in the part of Illinois that is not Chicago). He has been serving there since December of 2006. Pastor Buetow has been married to Susan for 13 years and they have three children, twins Naomi and Anna and Emily. Pastor Buetow is the Editor of the Reflections and serves as the Interim Internet Services Executive for Higher Things. In his free time, Pastor Buetow enjoys playing strategy and boardgames you've never heard of as well as fiddling with computer operating systems you've never heard of.

I'm confident that both will proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in their plenaries and its fruit in the life of vocation.

For more information about the three Amen conferences in the Poconos, St. Louis and Irvine, visit our website at www.amen2008.org. Registration has already begun!
