Reformation Sunday honors Martin Luther’s bold action on October 31st, 1517. On that date Luther posted his statement of faith, known as the 95 Theses, on the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, thus beginning the Protestant Reformation. On Reformation Sunday, we return to the core of our faith: God loved us first, and God continues to shower us with grace and mercy.
At the 9:00 service, our confirmands who have completed our two-year Confirmation program will affirm their faith.

On Sunday, November 1, we will again participate in one of the oldest traditions of the church. On this day each year, the church honors “that great cloud of witnesses of other times and other places…” (Hebrews 12:1) who have died in the faith. In particular, we will remember the “saints” of St. Mark who have died in the past twelve months. We will also remember those who mourn, that they may be comforted with the hope of being reunited with those whom they have known and loved on earth.
