SUMMARY:Higher Things® Retreat
DESCRIPTION:What do you do when people you know announce they identify as part of the LGBT community? What do you do when you start questioning who God has created you to be? We live in a world of darkness and confusion that needs the light of Christ. But how do we faithfully bring the light of Christ? This retreat will dig into how we ended up here culturally\, what Scripture has to say about these topics\, and how to live in Christ despite the confusion and suffering that surrounds us. \nPastor Merritt Demski graduated from Concordia Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in literature in 2008 before graduating from Concordia Seminary\, St. Louis with his M-Div. in 2016. He is the pastor at St. John Lutheran Church in Hanover (rural Alta)\, IA. Pastor Demski enjoys spending time with people and studying church history to understand why we do what we do. He also enjoys spending time with his family\, walking\, and discussing film and literature. \nHT2025promo packet
