On Sunday, October 29, Christ the King Lutheran Church, Memphis, celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Reformation with full choral and instrumental participation in the morning worship services led by Pastor Chuck Neugebauer and Pastor Mark Goble which, along with powerful Word and the Sacrament of Holy Communion, created a beautiful background against which the treasure of the Five Solas was revealed in the liturgical setting. Following the 11:00 service, the congregation and guests gathered in the gym for a Reformation Oktoberfest with brats, sauerkraut, and homemade sides and desserts. The crowd enjoyed a skit entitled “At Home with Martin and Katie,” with Matt Adler as Luther and Genie Swan as his wife Katherine. Martin held forth from his “Luther’s Famous Quotes” podium while Katie added reminders (“feed the chickens”, ” take rye bread to Melancthon”) to the door covered with 95 post-it notes. It was a memorable day filled with great friends, good food, and an appreciation of our Lutheran heritage.
