St. Mark's Celebrates the Reformation in October

How many of us can celebrate events that happened 500 years ago, yet are still relevant today? Yet in October 2017, we will do that with the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

St. Mark's has planned several events to mark this monumental event.

First, we join our fellow Catholics and Lutherans for the School of Religion in October. On each of three Wednesdays, both Lutheran and Catholic leaders will lead us in discussion of the Declaration on the Way, a unique ecumenical text that will prepare us to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. We meet Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. on October 4, 11, and 18. Read More - Download the study materials, Declaration on the Way.

Then, on the fourth Wednesday, October 25, we will host at St. Mark's, a joint service of Catholics and Lutherans at 7:00 p.m. to commemorate our shared history “from conflict to communion.” Refreshments will follow in Fellowship Hall.

Finally, join your St. Mark’s family on Reformation Sunday, October 29, for a single service of Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. We will continue the celebration with extended hospitality in Fellowship Hall.
