Pictures from our 2007 Reformation Night

We’ve just finished celebrating one of our favorite church events of the year! We always come home from our annual Reformation Day Celebration with a renewed love for history and for the saints that came before us. We also gain renewed inspiration to follow in the steps of those who gave up so much to stand for Christ and His Word.

This year, Daniel organized our Reformation Night, and we celebrated the Scottish Covenanters of the 17th Century--men and women who stood firm and defended the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. Here are a few pictures!

Left to right: Daniel and his betrothed lady, Katelyn Pontier, Bethany, Benjamin, John, Pam, Susannah, and Joseph.

Our speaker for the evening, dressed as William Wallace. (Yes, Wallace came before the Covenanters, but a few men couldn't resist dressing up like him!)

We started out the evening by singing from the Scottish Psalter and hearing a short talk on the history of the Covenanters.


 

Booth Time!

Trying to keep the King's men out of the Scottish Kirk

Hiding the Covenanter preacher from Claverhouse and the King's men

Picking out prizes!

Ring toss - which men did Hugh MacKail call "a Pharaoh on the throne, a Haman in the state, and a Judas in the Church?"

Collecting signatures for the National Covenant, a document that upheld the religious liberty in Scotland over against the "divine right of kings"

Our medieval decorations in the dining hall

"Reformation Night" is one of the highlights of our year! We've assembled plans for four parties, celebrating the lives of Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Martin Bucer, and put them in a book to help you organize your own "Reformation Night" with your church or homeschool group.
