October 2024 Tower Tidings

Greetings!
October is here! It brings special days of leaves turning colors and gently finding their way to the ground. The smells of bonfires, s’mores, and pumpkins being carved. All Hallow’s Eve (Halloween) costumes are being planned and bags of candy are on the shelves of every grocery store. October 31st is also known to us Protestants as “Reformation Day.” When I was in seminary, one of my church history professors would come over to the dorm and we would reenact Martin Luther nailing his 99 Thesis to the door of the Wittenburg Church…thus the beginning of the Reformation. Oh, what began then.
