Higher Things is excited to announce that a familiar face on your website will be a permanent fixture for years to come. The Rev. Mark Buetow, formerly the “interim” Internet Services Executive, is interim no more! By action of the Board of Directors, Mark is now our Internet Services Executive. Pr. Buetow serves as as pastor of Bethel Lutheran Church in Du Quoin, Illinois. He and his wife, Susan, have three children – twins Naomi and Anna and Emily. He received his STM in 2000 from Concordia Seminary – St. Louis and served in New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina washed his congregation away.
Pastor Buetow is all about free gifts. He is the editor of HT’s free devotions, the Higher Things Reflections. He oversees the content of our completely free and wonderfully updated website. He even uses a free operating system – Ubuntu (which means “almost as good as a Mac”). His delight is to proclaim the free gift of salvation in Jesus, which is why we are so glad to have him. Welcome, Pastor Buetow!
