 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!

The Holy Season of Lent is just around the corner. The Higher Things Daily Reflections for Lent point us away from ourselves to Jesus who did all things and suffered all things to save us. The Reflections remind us that this salvation is not just something that happened a long time ago. It is given, delivered and bestowed in the holy means of grace. This year's Lenten Reflections are written by the Rev. Mark Buetow, Bethel Lutheran Church, Du Quoin, Illinois and Higher Things' own Internet Services Executive.
To download the Lenten Reflections in a printable booklet format, click here.

Due to the changes in the President's Day holiday for public schools in Colorado, the “Be Mine” retreat will no longer be held at Estes Park. Instead it will be held at Mount Olive Lutheran Church in Loveland, CO. The retreat will last from late Friday, February 15, 2008 to Sunday, February 17, 2008. The cost has been highly discounted to $35/person, which will include food, housing, and snow fun! A new schedule will be available next week. Rev. George Borghardt and Ms. Sandra Ostapowich will still be teaching on Jer. 30:22 as before. I hope you all will come and enjoy the worship, work, and play that always abouts at Higher Things.
Here are the registration Forms: Group Registration Forms Individual Registration Forms

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.
In Christ,
Sandra Ostapowich
2008 "Amen" Conference Coordinator
Higher Things, Inc.
