It's a Reformation Celebration!

Martin Luther first led the Protestant Reformation in October of 1517. It was the start of something big as it is still celebrated to this day.

This Sunday, October 25, Trinity Lutheran Church will host its eighth annual Reformation Celebration as a means to commemorate the movement some 492 years after its inception.

The event begins at 5 p.m. in Trinity’s Christian Life Center.

After all, without Martin Luther, the denomination of Lutherans never would have existed, there would be no Trinity Lutheran Church and therefore no blog for you to be reading at this moment. So let’s celebrate!

“It’s a time to celebrate our life together as Lutherans and the Small Group Ministry of Trinity,” said Trinity’s Valerie Nielsen.

As mentioned, this is the eighth annual Reformation Celebration and is hosted by Trinity’s Small Group Ministries. It began in 2002 as a “Fall Fellowship” for small group ministries.

The event is open to men and women, boys and girls and children of all ages (even relatives). Regardless of how cliché it sounds: the more, the merrier.

As always, the event has plenty in store and includes games, a wide range of prizes, good food that includes bratwurst and a potluck, a 15-foot-long trough of ice cream tagged the famous “Reformation Sundae,” songs and celebration and, of course, the much-anticipated skit featuring Martin Luther himself.

Luther has dusted himself off to stop by and give his own perspective on the reformation. And a man of such significant stature will need an escort by the Secret Service and possibly will have the accompaniment of his own son, Hans.

The event begins at 5 p.m. and will run until around 7:00. Please bring a dish to share (dessert not necessary).

“We expect everyone to come and celebrate our Lutheran heritage and have a great time,” Nielsen said.

Will you be there?
