Institute Offers Reformation Display for Schools


Concordia Historical Institute is offering a special Reformation display for use in Lutheran elementary schools this fall. The theme of the exhibit is "Hope and Perseverance," based on Romans 5:3b–4: "... because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

The purpose of this new resource is not only to help students learn more about Luther's life but also to encourage them in their relationship with God by fostering a better appreciation for how their hope in Jesus Christ as their Savior can help them persevere through the problems and challenges that they face throughout their lives.

Developed from materials that were gathered for the Reformation Room in the new CHI Museum, the exhibit follows a timeline of Martin Luther's life, highlighting his perseverance through many challenges and hardships and pointing to the hope that he experienced from the knowledge of God's grace and love in Jesus Christ. The timeline is enriched with activities and visual pieces, including vocabulary exercises, maps of Germany and other activities. The program offers five options ranging from a timeline of Luther's life with 17 segments through a full-blown exhibit on a display board with carrying case that the school may keep. Prices range from $50 to $400, depending on the option chosen. Click here for an order form.
