Please note there will be NO WORSHIP SERVICES (Saturday 6:00, Sunday 8:00 am, 10:30 am, 10:45 am) on November 4 and 5 at Resurrection, as well as no Christian Education classes.
We hope to see you at Dorton!

On Sunday, November 5, 2017, Dorton Arena on the NC State Fairgrounds will be filled with songs of praise to our Lord. The event marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses which was a day that changed the world encouraging the church to return to the Scriptures.

Following a moving time of worship with thousands of voices, we will serve our neighbors. A health and dental clinic is planned for the afternoon and early evening, as well as an art show and music festival.

Main Speaker

Our main speaker will be renowned international speaker, Rev. Dr. Gregory P. Seltz who is the emeritus speaker of the longest running Christian Radio program in the world, The Lutheran Hour. Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) is a Christian outreach ministry supporting churches worldwide. LHM produces Christian radio and TV programming for broadcast, as well as Internet and print communications, dramas, music, and outreach materials, to reach the unchurched in more than 30 countries.

Touched by God's Love: Free Clinic

Following worship beginning at 2:00 pm on the south side of Dorton Arena, dozens of volunteers and medical professionals will provide free services to our neighbors in need. Hours: 2:00-7:00 pm

Music Festival

Music is central to the worship of God and the day at Dorton will be filled with great music. Music during worship and during the day will be representative of the different forms of music that are lifted up to God each week in congregations across our region. Participation includes Maestro Alfred Sturgis, NC Master Chorale, and the NC Symphony Brass.

All youth and adult singers and ringers are invited to join us for the event. For more information, to indicate interest, and to receive your music, please contact Robert Unger at 919-851-7248 x25 or .

Art Show

Art has shaped society and motivated people for centuries. When Rev. Martin Luther created his small catechism, he made sure it was printed with art that demonstrated and taught people about God's will for their lives.

To encourage the arts and continue in the spirit of the Reformation, students from across the region are asked to submit their artwork for display at Dorton Arena. All of the submitted artwork will be displayed behind the main stage on the floor of Dorton Arena. Parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors can come to visit the pieces of art that have been entered for the art show.

Kids Zone

The day of the event there will be activities for young children, as well as a nursery for parents with children who would like to utilize these services. The nursery area (up to age 5) will be staffed by volunteers (aged 18 and older) from congregations sponsoring this event.

Children are welcome to stop by the Kids Zone tables on the north side of Dorton Arena to share in a craft and learn more about how the Reformation impacts their lives.

Parents are encouraged to bring their children to enjoy the event and partake in connecting their family with the many organizations who carry forward the energy of the reformation after 500 years.

The Reformation in Action

Over 500 years have passed since the Protestant Reformation and God's church continues to live out its calling to "live a life worthy of the calling you have received" (Ephesians 4:1 NIV). As you enter the north entrance to Dorton Arena, you will be greeted by nearly 20 exhibitors from across the east coast who live out the spirit of the reformation in their daily lives. From agencies dedicated to helping people recover from natural disasters to those raising up the next generation through education.

When the Reformation called us back to the Scriptures, it also called us back to seeing the value of all lives and recognizing that each person is empowered to be part of the change our Lord envisions for this world equipped by the Holy Spirit.

Volunteers

It takes many hands and willing hearts to host an event of this magnitude. If you are interested in volunteering in one of the many positions needed, please sign up at trianglefaith.org.

Triangle Faith is a cooperative effort of nine congregations in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod that seeks to bring the message of forgiveness to the greater Raleigh Triangle community.
