Reformation Day Celebration


In honor of Reformation Day, the teacher of the children's class at our church asked all the children to come dressed as Reformers last night. We had quite the array of Reformation heroes present! Two John Calvins (of which Micaiah was one--notice his Institutes in hand), two Mrs. John Calvins, both Martin & Katie Luther, Gaspard de Coligny (Huguenot leader, top right in the collage above), George Wishart (Scottish reformer, bottom left in the collage above) and even Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, an outspoken contemporary and defender of Martin Luther (he's the fat guy in the top picture ;-). The kids thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on learning experience, and I thought you might enjoy it, too.

I'm still wondering if that marker came off Samuel's face!

Great idea. Mind if I share it with our church?

It's copyrighted, sorry!

They all very cute!! Love the idea! They should have stopping in the past Sunday at Breakfast and Bible hour and helped Bob with his Reformation timeline!

Micaiah, you look like your middle name when you are wearing your beard!
