In the first of the 3 summer ‘Higher Things’ conferences, youth from all over the United States (and world!) were in attendance at ‘Amen 2008.’ Six hundred and thirty to be exact. The University of Scranton never looked so Lutheran!
The philosophy of Higher Things is: ‘when we work, we work; when we play we play; and when we worship…you guessed it, we worship.’ The co-mingling happens among the youth making new friends and enjoying the many break out sessions of biblical topics and study variety.
As an exhibitor for this conference, I was privileged to represent CTS. Our booth was chock full of free pins, pens, catechism posters and space on our table to decorate the backpacks that each youth received–with our very own CTS logo. We also held a giveaway for $50 to Amazon.com. The youth registered like mad, and at the end of the week, Rachel Franck of Duluth, MN won.
Next week, Higher Things moves to St. Louis University. The same theme “Amen” continues, with some diversity of speakers, pastors and, of course, YOUTH. Stay tuned for next week’s winner!
