Each household attending the party is asked to bring one bag of candy and a dish of ready-to-serve bread, cheese, fruits, or vegetables. Also consider bringing a donation as mentioned below. Contact Allison Siff for more information, or for costume ideas!

Calvin's Geneva was the source of an army of missionaries sent to minister to the people of Italy, Germany, Scotland, England, and France. In keeping with Calvin's support of missions, you can help contribute to ongoing mission work when you come to the party. You can donate money for the Lagniappe, Mississippi Katrina relief effort, or bring items for the local Pregnancy CareNet Center. Items that are needed are: lotions, diaper rash creams, combs, newborn diapers, socks, baby girl clothes (size 3-6 months only)

On the Reformation . . .

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther did not realize how his 95 theses nailed to the church door in Wittenburg would be used by God to change the world. His desire was to see the Catholic Church reform in terms of God’s Word. It didn’t and so, the Reformation was born.

Over 475 years later, we continue to desire our lives and God’s church to be reformed by God’s Word. No area of life can be left untouched. History records that Luther, Calvin and other reformers were not readily greeted with open arms in appreciation for their work. In fact, they faced much opposition. Many were martyred for holding to reformation principles.

The tenets of the Reformation – such as the sufficiency of scripture for all of life, salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone – are found in the Old Testament as well as the New. One sola of the Reformation, “sola scripture”, includes the emphasis on the entire Bible being implemented in our living out our lives. During this year’s Conference we will focus on the Old Testament as we examine “The Piety of the Old Testament Saints.”
