About Reformation Day:
What is Reformation Day?
Question: "What is Reformation Day?"
Answer: Reformation Day is a Protestant religious holiday celebrated on October 31. It recognizes the day German monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church in 1517. This act is commemorated as the official starting point of the Protestant Reformation.
Officially, Reformation Day has been commemorated since 1567. Exact dates for the holiday varied until after the two hundredth celebration in 1717 when October 31 became the official date of celebration in Germany and later expanded internationally.
Within the Lutheran tradition, Reformation Day is considered a lesser holiday and is officially named "The Festival of the Reformation." Most Lutheran churches (and others who celebrate this day) commemorate it on the Sunday prior to October 31.

A Hymn for this Hour:
A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD!
"The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold."
(Psalm 46:11)
A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD!
"The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold."
(Psalm 46:11)
Lyrics
A mighty Fortress is our God,
A Bulwark never failing;
Our Helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength
confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with
devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly
powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever.

Please go here and PRAISE HIM WITH US THAT HE -- OUR GOD -- IS STILL OUR MIGHTY FORTRESS IN THIS HOUR!

About Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
Our Mission Statement
Capitol Hill Prayer Partners (CHPP) is a ministry which is positioned on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., helping members of the Body of Christ to "pray for those in authority over us" in our federal government. Our primary purpose is to offer intercession on site for the members of Congress and their staffs each day that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in session; and our chief prayer focus is that "God's will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." [Matthew 6:10].
Because Jesus Christ has shed
His blood for all, we, too, pray for ALL, in a nonpartisan manner. Also,
because the scriptures indicate that "the effectual, fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much" (James 4:17), we are confident that
fervent prayer, offered in the halls of the highest chambers of government in
our land, can avail much for America. Capitol Hill Prayer Partners welcomes
those who feel called to join us, engaging in this strategic work of
intercession for our nation: "For there is no power but of God; the
powers that be are ordained of God." [Romans 13:1]
