Reformation Day

While the world may focus on trick or treat today, the church pauses to remember the beginning of the Protestant Reformation begun on this date in 1517.

 A Reformation Day Blessing

Almighty God, gracious Lord, we thank You for preserving Your holy church throughout the ages. For the gift of the blessed gospel we praise Your name. For the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection from the dead and life eternal in Christ, we thank You, loving Father. We treasure the rich heritage handed down from our fathers in the faith. Hear our prayer which we ask in the name of Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, through all eternity.  Amen.
