Tuesday Night Class: Martin Luther, An Unlikely Reformer
Mar 31
Tuesday Night Class: Martin Luther, An Unlikely Reformer

Join us for “Martin Luther: An Unlikely Reformer.” A tipping point is when a new direction has been slowly building, then an event, or person, or action tips it forward, creating lasting change. Martin Luther, while not the only reformer, was the one who tipped the world into the Protestant Reformation. This class gives us the opportunity to study Luther - a man who went from lawyer to monk to excommunication to the founder of a new faith communion. Rick & Gretchen Thiele will lead us in exploring Luther’s life, his influence, and his lasting impact not only on the Lutheran church, but on all of Christianity. The study will be guided by the book, “Martin Luther: A Life from Beginning to End”. While participants do not have to buy the book, if they wish it is available from Amazon. The class will run March 31 - April 28 from 6:30-7:30 PM. To register and/or with questions regarding the class, contact Rick & Gretchen at gthiele1@verizon.net.
