This week we are in the midst of a load of preparations for our church’s Reformation celebration. Our theme is John Calvin, given the 500th anniversary of his birth this year. We are in a sea of flags and banners and crafts… not to mention the costumes and food!
As a reformed Presbyterian, I love celebrating this holiday. It’s like a day of thanksgiving to me – thanking God for the faith I could never muster up and the grace He gives. For faithful men and women who have given their lives so that I may have a Bible that I can read every day without fear of persecution. Praise God for the brothers and sister who’ve come before us. I pray that I may also treasure the truth of Scripture so much that I will give up everything for it.
Anyhoo, back to the crafty, fun learning stuff.
I’ve got some links to share with you today. Maybe you’ll be inspired to have your own little Reformation celebration…

Happy Reformation!
