Reformation Sunday/New Members Sunday
Reformation Sunday is a significant day in the Lutheran Church, commemorating the Protestant Reformation initiated by Martin Luther in the 16th century. The observance of Reformation Sunday dates back to October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. This act is considered the catalyst for the Reformation, a movement that sought to reform the practices of the Roman Catholic Church and ultimately led to the establishment of Protestantism. The day is celebrated on the last Sunday in October, or October 31st itself, in remembrance of this pivotal event in Christian history.
We will be celebrating Reformation Sunday on October 26.
We will also be welcoming New Members of Hope.
Join us afterwards for a post-worship fellowship time with cake in honour of Reformation and our New Members.
