George Borghardt, Associate/Youth Pastor of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Conroe Texas. Pr. Borghardt also serves as the Higher Things Conferences Executive.

At long last! We finally have them. We’ve decided to go with a new company for our merchandising that should be more efficient than before. The new website is here:

www.higherthings.spreadshirt.com

The shirts are available in red and blue currently. This site also offers more payment options than the eBay site did. And if you order by Thursday, it should be to you by Christmas!

Please give me feedback on this new site and the shopping experience with it. Send me an email or reply to this post.

Merry Christmas!
