There will be 10 interactive stations set up throughout the church. Martin Luther Movie At 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., Redeemer will host a free screening of the movie “Martin Luther: The Idea That Changed the World.” Reverend Frank Ruffatto, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, will hold a brief question and answer session between showings. The Protestant Reformation began October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, when Martin Luther posted his thoughts about theological topics and the practices of the Church. That simple action began the Reformation — a movement that changed Western society. The Gospel of Grace Alone, Faith Alone, and Word Alone was rediscovered.
