REFORMATION SUNDAY - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26th! This day marks the posting of Martin Luther's 95 Theses on October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, as a call to debate issues of church practice, particularly the sale of indulgences. The event is seen as a rediscovery of the "good news" of salvation through God's grace and a person's faith in Jesus Christ, rather than by works. A key outcome of the Reformation was Luther's translation of the Bible from Latin into German, allowing ordinary people to read and understand God's word for themselves. The color for Reformation Sunday is traditionally Red, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, power, and fire.
You have two weeks to find a red shirt—or treat yourself to a new one! Don’t forget to wear red as we celebrate Reformation Sunday together.
