Sunday, October 31, 2010 - Reformation Sunday

On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther began what is known as the Protestant Reformation which radically changed the ecclesiastical (church) and religious landscape. A recent survey indicated that the majority of United States Protestants know very little about Martin Luther. With Reformation Sunday this year falling on the 493rd anniversary of the nailing of Luther's 95 Theses on the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany, we will show the full length 2003 movie entitled "Luther." Not only will you gain significant knowledge about the life and ministry of Martin Luther, you will be inspired by his courage to stand alone against the doctrinal and ethical corruptions of his day and how he changed the course of history.
