Reformation Faire

Last weekend we went to a "Reformation Day Faire" at Providence Church in Peoria, IL. Me and my family dressed up as reformers. I was dressed up to be Queen Anne Boleyn, who was another great reformer! She encouraged and stood for the Protestants such as John Calvin and John Knox.

One of the speakers, Pastor James McDonald teaching on John Calvin.
