We confess in the Apostle’s Creed that, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth.” But a lot (like, a LOT) of people actually don’t believe that. It seems like practically everyone thinks that everything came about by random chance. How can we respond to those who don’t believe in this wonderful gift of Creation? Is it possible to take the middle ground and say that both creation AND evolution are somehow possible?
Come and join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion of creation and evolution with Pastor Christian Tiews from Grace Lutheran Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
When: January 7-8, 2011
Where: Holy Cross Lutheran Church / 1100 Market Street / Carlisle, Iowa
Cost: $30/person ($20/person Saturday ONLY)
RSVP: Pastor Kevin Johnson at (515) 989-3841 or johnsonknc@aol.com or Sandra Ostapowich at (888) 482-6630 or retreats@higherthings.org
Dear Reflections Readers,
Higher Things is pleased to announce that the Advent and Christmas Reflections are now available. Covering the Advent and Christmas Seasons (and the Feast of Epiphany), these Reflections from November 28, 2010 through January 8, 2011 point us to the coming Christ, the Savior in the manger and in His church and the Good News that is for all people of the world. To download the Reflections in a printable booklet format, click here.
Thank you for your support of Higher Things!
In Christ,
Pastor Mark Buetow, HT Media Services
On Monday, November 1st Higher Things took to the road in Stump the Pastor Across America. The goal was simple, could we throw a theological question at Pastor Borghardt that was so difficult he would squirm and struggle? The rules were even simpler, the questions were yours and Pastor Borghardt had no idea what they would be until we asked them. Twelve hundred miles later we've stopped all across America and stumped Pastor Borghardt. The first of our road trip videos are now uploaded and online and you can check them out on YouTube here.
Registration for Higher Things Coram Deo 2011 opens Monday morning! You can register securely online directly through our website. In order to register you will need a FREE HT Account. You can register for an HT Account in advance by clicking here. If you're already registered but can't remember your password you can find it here, and if you forgot your username you can find it here. Remember, this year Coram Deo will be in three great locations: Las Vegas, NV - Bloomington/Normal, IL - Atlanta, GA. Sunday is a great time to have your youth fill out their information on the Individual Registration forms included in the Coram Deo Information Packet, which can be found here. So after you've sung "A Mighty Fortress" and are on that Reformation-high get your youth all geared up for this summer's conferences!
As many of you know Pastor Borghardt, host of HT-Radio, accepted a Divine Call to serve as Pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in McHenry, IL. On November 1st Pastor Borghardt will be packing up his family and leaving Texas on a three day road trip to Illinois. We thought it'd be fun to take our HT-Radio segment Stump the Pastor with Pastor Borghardt as he drives a moving truck across America!
Each night of the trip we'll post short video clips of Pastor Borghardt answering your questions while he drives his moving truck! We won't tell him what the questions are before they are asked and the video will be completely candid. You can send us your questions on Twitter or by e-mail StumpThePastor@higherthings.org All question submissions will be completely anonymous and the more difficult they are the better!
We'll post the videos on YouTube and Facebook and link to them on our website. Plus, during the trip we'll be talking about Jesus from our twitter account @StumpThePastor
