Each summer since 2001, Higher Things has held conferences for Lutheran
youth. In past years we have been to Laramie, WY; Duluth, MN; Arlington,
TX; Seattle, WA; St. Louis, MO; and Colorado Springs, CO. Due to the
overwhelming response for last year's conference, "The Feast",
Higher Things went out on a limb to serve even more Lutheran youth with the
Gospel and will be having two conferences this summer - one in Minneapolis, MN
and one in Asheville, NC.
Organizing Higher Things' conferences is a huge task - we began plans for
2008's conferences about six months ago and are already beginning work for
2009. And all the while, details are coming together in the final weeks
for the 2 conferences this summer! The Higher Things Conferences Executive
is ultimately responsible for everything from site selection to committee
selection and oversight for each conference. Conferences are the backbone
of all that Higher Things endeavors - immersing youth in historic worship,
challenging study, and creative fun for four days each summer.
One of the goals for Higher Things is to keep our services and conferences as
affordable for as many youth as possible. We accomplish this largely
through the incredibly generous work of many volunteers, including our
Executives. While the Conference Executive is a paid position within
Higher Things, applicants should consider their work a labor of love. Download a detailed job description for the Higher Things Conferences
Executive.
Higher Things will accept applications from May 1 through June 15, which
will be reviewed by a committee who will make a recommendation to the Board of
Directors. The Board will interview the top candidates and select a new
Conferences Executive by August 1. The new Executive should plan to begin
on September 1. Please email Sandra Ostapowich (ostapowich@higherthings.org)
with cover letters and resumes or if you have questions about the position.

Have you ever wondered….
what it’s like to be a Christian on a non-Christian college campus?
if God has a plan for your future?
what the deal is with Christian video games?
how to respond to someone who has ADD?
why some people think that Christians are “diseased”?
Well, lucky for you, the Spring 2007 issue of Higher Things is on the way! This jam-packed issue answers all of these questions. It also contains great articles on Pentecostalism, the proper way to receive Communion, how to tell whether you are a “cultural” or “confessional” Lutheran, and the theology of the Left Behind book series. Just what do Lutherans believe about the end times anyway? Plus, you get to find out what happens when Kathy Luder tells a lie and ends up at the police station!

Recently, after nearly thirty-six hours of attempting to edit a magazine without a Julie on staff, Higher Things Magazine welcomed Julie Beckwith on board to serve as Assistant Editor. Mrs. Beckwith currently lives in Greenville, Pennsylvania , where her husband Carl teaches at Thiel College . They have two daughters, Paige and Madeleine. From copyediting to proofreading to writing, there's no job this Julie can't handle!

After five years of service to Higher Things Magazine, Managing Editor Julie Stiegemeyer has resigned from her position in order to spend more time with her family as well as pursue other writing interests. Assistant Editor Adriane Dorr will be taking her place. The official passing of the, um, homemade scepter took place on Friday, February 17, as did the rewarding of the retirement tiara and cape. Julie began work at the magazine several years ago and initially served as a proofreader. She started taking on more and more editorial tasks and wound up working as one of the head editors, which she has done for several years. Although Julie's editorial expertise is irreplaceable, we are thankful for her years of dedication to her work and her faithful service to Higher Things and look forward to some future articles in Higher Things magazine.
