Reformation Day: 4 facts to know about the other Oct. 31 holiday

By Michael Gryboski, Editor Twitter

3. Different ways to celebrate

So how does one celebrate Reformation Day? Worship is the most obvious way of doing so, with congregations offering services either on Oct. 31 or the preceding Sunday.

Tom Macy, now-pastor emeritus at Faith Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, told The Christian Post in a 2013 interview that his congregation had a Reformation-themed service, which included singing Luther's most famous hymn, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God."

"I often find an appropriate connection to acknowledge the importance of the Reformation as a return to biblical faithfulness," Macy said.

"This Sunday, I am in 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 with the focus on temptation. No problem to find a connection to Luther's battle with temptation as expressed in 'A Mighty Fortress: And though this world with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,'" he added at the time.
