College Conference Volunteer (CCV) at two Higher Things conferences, there are so many things that come flooding into my mind: the friends I’ve made, the things about being Lutheran I have learned, the new opportunities that have come from volunteering, and the amazing worship that I have been a part of. Countless hymns, readings, memories, sermons, and people with all one common denominator: the unending grace of God given to us through Jesus Christ, His Son.
CCVs assist pastors, staff, and speakers with anything that they could possibly need to make the week a breeze for all in attendance. We travel from different parts of the country, not knowing each other (for the most part), and become close friends by the end of the week. We get little to no sleep and are running on pure caffeine by the close of the conference. When I applied to be a CCV for the first time, I had no idea about the experience that was coming my way or how the people I was with would influence me so much.
