“Celebrating 500 years of God’s Grace” On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther sent ninety-five theses to Albert of Brandenburg, the Archbishop of Mainz, alerting him of abuses within the church. This document, which was most likely publicly displayed on the door of the Wittenberg Church, began a movement which transformed Christendom—the Protestant Reformation. You have the incredible opportunity to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in June, 2017. Come relive the events that transformed the Church!
