Our
Reformation Services and Family Fall Festival began on October
31, 2004, with our
8:15 Matins Service. Our Lights For The World Youth group
presented us with pre-service worship in song to begin the
11:00 service. These services were well attended and very
moving as we celebrated the anniversary of the Reformation.

One can
safely guess that our Reformation Lunch and Festival began
with lunch. A very special THANK YOU to Toby and Deanna
Clarkson for preparing all the food. A very special
"Reformation Stew" was the main dish. New to this writer and
very delicious! As we all know, Lutherans love to eat
and this was no exception. The Reformation Stew was well
received. An estimated 130 people attended.

The Reformation Family Fall Festival program
was kicked off by our Adult Choir. Various other activities
were enjoyed such as Booths with historical data, games for
children, participants in period costumes, Reformation music,
and scenes from John Osbourne's "Luther". Even a visit from
Tetzel himself, still trying. |
