Quick quiz. Why is Reformation Sunday, the Sunday following October 31?

Stumped? Reformation Day is also known as Halloween or All Hallows Eve or Hallow’s evening which is the eve of All Saints Day. On All Hallows Eve, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of the Wittenburg Church.

The first of his Thesis was: “When Our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, said, “Repent”, He called for the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” This concept shows the heart of the gospel–that faith and repentance is an ongoing calling for the Christian rather than a the first step to becoming a Christian.

In honor of Reformation Day and Martin Luther’s bold stand for the gospel and the purifying fire which followed, GPC will host a Reformation Party at the building Sunday evening at 6:30 at the building. Join us for shmores and music. Maybe we’ll even watch a movie
