Worship Service Bulletin - Reformation Day

About the Cover: Martin Luther desired his seal to be a symbol of the firm footing we have in the Gospel. The black cross in the centre of a living red heart signifies that Christ’s death bring us life. The flower blossoms like the joy and peace of faith in salvation, and the heavenly blue background points to future joy and eternity. It is all surrounded by the golden ring because salvation in Christ is eternal and our greatest treasure (Luther’s Works, vol. 49, pp.  358-59). In this common Lutheran symbol, we have a reminder of the heart of the Reformation: Christ’s cross brings us the eternal and priceless blessings of forgiveness, life, joy, and peace.
