(BEAVER FALLS, Pa.) – Geneva College invites the public to a Reformation-themed worship service on Sunday, October 22 at 6:30 p.m. on the Beaver Falls campus.

The service is a celebration in gratitude to God for the mighty work of the Holy Spirit during the Protestant Reformation and a commemoration of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg Chapel church.

Dr. Byron G. Curtis, Professor of Biblical Studies at Geneva College, will preach from Romans 1:16-17:

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.’”

The service takes place one week before Reformation Sunday to accommodate Dr. Curtis, who is in high demand this fall for his preaching and teaching on the Reformation.  Geneva College Chaplain, Rut Etheridge says, “Martin Luther said that this passage from Romans ‘opened the gates of heaven,’ to him.  We’re happy to have this liberating truth from God’s Word proclaimed by such a deeply studied exegete and expositor as Dr. Curtis.”

Geneva College plans to make a Reformation Day worship service an annual event and warmly invites the community to make this assembly a yearly part of their long term plans.
