The last Sunday in October is Reformation Sunday, a reminder that as Martin Luther taught, we are all imperfect, saved by God’s grace and God’s grace alone, through Jesus Christ.
Reformation Sunday is a profound act of religious freedom that allows us to be in one accord and know that we are loved, not because of our actions but because of who we are. We wear red on Reformation Sunday to acknowledge the Holy Spirit in our lives.
When we, as a community, stand up and speak boldly to advocate for change, we become the voice for those silenced by systems. This is the Reformation in everyday life, the reformed church that accepts everyone and allows all of us to have accessible faith. It’s in the way we treat our neighbors, advocate for justice, and show compassion to those in need.
