Remembering the Protestant Reformation

Next Tuesday, October 31, has something way better than candy and costumes in store. It’s Reformation Day, which means this Sunday is Reformation Sunday.

In the past, we have hosted a big party after our service but we are scaling back this year. There will be nods to it in our service. However, we want to encourage you to celebrate outside of Sunday morning.

Below are a few resources to help each of us understand, appreciate, and thank God for the Protestant Reformation.
