We certainly aren't going to let Pastor Fouts win again, are we? Or worse... me? (smile)

Last week, during the Amen - Irvine conference, the Higher Things Board of Directors and Executives met for our annual Summit meeting. One of the most important orders of business for this annual meeting are our elections. The HT Board of Directors is comprised of 9 members.
Directors serve three-year terms, and three director seats are up for election each year.
This year, incumbents Pr. William Cwirla and Pr. Bruce Keseman were both re-elected to serve another term and we are pleased to have elected a new-comer to the Board, Pr. David Kind. Pr. Kind has served as a conference Chaplain
at both For You - Minneapolis and Amen - Poconos, and has been involved with HT's Christ on Campus as the pastor of University Lutheran Chapel in Minneapolis, MN.
Also during the annual meeting, the HT Board of Directors elects Officers to serve one-year terms. The Board of Directors Officers for the coming year are as follows:
President: Pr. William Cwirla
Vice-President: Pr. Brent Kuhlman
Treasurer: Lynn Fredericksen
Secretary: Sandra Ostapowich
All new terms will begin on September 1, 2008.

 Higher
Things is excited to announce that a familiar face on your website will be a
permanent fixture for years to come. The Rev. Mark Buetow, formerly the
"interim" Internet Services Executive, is interim no more! By action
of the Board of Directors, Mark is now our Internet Services Executive. Pr.
Buetow serves as as pastor of Bethel Lutheran Church in Du Quoin, Illinois.
He and his wife, Susan, have three children - twins Naomi and Anna and Emily.
He received his STM in 2000 from Concordia Seminary - St. Louis and served in
New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina washed his congregation away.
Pastor Buetow is all about free gifts. He is the editor of HT's free devotions,
the Higher Things Reflections. He oversees the content of our completely
free and wonderfully updated website. He even uses a free operating system
- Ubuntu (which means "almost as good as a Mac"). His delight is to
proclaim the free gift of salvation in Jesus, which is why we are so glad to
have him. Welcome, Pastor Buetow!

The Board of Directors of Higher Things has officially received and accepted a letter of resignation from its president, the Rev. Klemet Preus, effective February 18, 2008. In his letter to the Board, Pr. Preus indicated his intention to resign as president in order to pursue other
pastoral and personal goals. Pr. Preus has been instrumental in the development and maturation of Higher Things as a unique confessional and liturgical Lutheran youth organization. He has served faithfully as Higher Things' president since 2002, all the while exhorting us to
"worship, work, and play" and know the difference among them.
While no longer serving as the public face of Higher Things, Pr. Preus still promises to be visible at Higher Things' conferences in the pulpit
and the classroom doing what he does best: preaching, teaching, and admonishing us to "Dare to be Lutheran."
We are thankful to God and deeply grateful to Pr. Preus for his devoted years of pastoral guidance and Gospel-oriented leadership, and we pray our
Lord's grace and every blessing on his new endeavors.
Until a new president can be named by the Board of Directors, the duties of the office of president will be assumed by Higher Things' vice-president,
the Rev. William M. Cwirla.
