Wayside Presbyterian Church's Reformation Conference is October 20-22. Each year, Wayside Presbyterian Church on Signal Mountain sets aside a weekend to focus on its Reformed heritage, stemming from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. World-class scholars in Reformation history present a series of lectures for every-day Christians. The conference is set for October 20-22 this year.
This year's conference theme is "Reformation 500: Martin Luther and the Legacy of the Reformation." On Oct. 31, 1517 — 500 years ago — Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, sparking a reformation that understood salvation to be by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, under the authority of Scripture alone, and to the glory of God alone. The legacy of that reformation has continued down through the ages.
The conference kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 20, with Dr. Harry Reeder discussing "The Legacy of the Reformation." At 8:15 p.m., Dr. Reeder, Dr. Brian Cosby and Dr. Chuck Barrett will hold a Q&A panel. The conference continues Saturday at 9 a.m. with a men's breakfast, during which Dr. Reeder will discuss "The Leadership Dynamic." Sunday, October 21, sees a full day of workshops and worship, beginning at 9:30 a.m. For the full schedule and more information, visit the Wayside Presbyterian Church website.
