Good food. Good fellowship. A great story worth remembering.

Join us for an evening around the fire as we celebrate Reformation Day together!

We’ll kick things off at 6:00 PM with yard games and plenty of time to hang out. Then bring your appetite because at 7:00 PM, the competition begins with our official Chili Cook-Off!

But Reformation Day is about more than chili and a bonfire.

At 7:30 PM, we’ll gather together to hear the story of the Protestant Reformation and remember men and women who stood courageously upon the truth of God’s Word. It’s a story of ordinary people, an extraordinary moment in history, and the recovery of the beautiful truth that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, all for the glory of God alone.

At 8:00 PM, we’ll crown our Chili Cook-Off champion, and then spend the rest of the evening gathered around the bonfire singing and worshiping together.

Bring a lawn chair, bring your family, and come ready for a great fall evening at Watkins!
