Celebrating the Reformation at home and abroad
In October and November 2017, congregations, circuits, and districts around the synod gathered to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Missions and sister churches around the world also took part in the celebration. From smaller gatherings to districtwide assemblies of close to 5,000 people, from locations in Africa, Asia, and Europe, these services all concentrated on the truths brought into focus through Martin Luther: grace alone, faith alone, and Scripture alone, all through Christ alone.
