NEW LUTHER MOVIE

Mark Your Calendars!

Martin Luther triggered a seismic upheaval that rocked the western world in the 1500's - with an impact that continues to reverberate to this day. This film tells the great adventure story of his life. At the same time, it examines his quest for truth-questions we all must face-including "Who am I?" "What is my purpose" and

"How do I get ri ght with God?" Watch the movie trailer by clicking the picture below...

PBS, Channel 10 will show the movie on

Tuesday, September 12 at 7 pm.
