Reformation Heritage Tour
Monday, November 10
Join Pastor & Mrs FaulknerReformation Heritage Tour, November 10-20, 2008. No study of Christian history is complete without an appreciation of the lives of the great reformers whose courageous preaching awakened Europe with the cry: “By grace alone, through faith alone, on the authority of the Scriptures alone!” We owe a great debt to those who gave their lives to proclaim the gospel of grace at a time when it was being distorted and suppressed. On this trip, we will visit sites important to the Protestant Reformation in Germany and Switzerland. For information regarding the tour, contact Joel or Brenda Bruner.
