Today is Halloween, and there will be children dressed in many outfits collecting candy this evening. It’s so much fun to pretend to be something else, sometimes. But, October 31st is a special day in the life of the Church. Over four-hundred years ago, Martin Luther, nailed a document on the door of Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. He was fed up with the Church’s actions. In a way, the Church had grown corrupt, collecting money from the poor, promoting selfish desires, and in a way, just pretending to be something that it wasn’t.
When he nailed these statements to the church’s door, it sparked a revolution and a call to reform the church he loved. It’s easy to hide behind a costume or a mask and pretend like there’s no one else around, but we’re not called to do that, are we? Today, I encourage you to remove the masks of your life, and be real. Here at Central, we believe that life is better connected to God and to each other, and when we connect with God and each other, we begin to slowly remove the masks; we reform our lives around the God that is with and for us. So, we invite you to journey along with us.
