Connection to the Reformation: Martin Luther not only reformed the church, he also is credited for reforming bowling. With a bowling alley in his house, Luther knocked down nine pins representing the devil. Luther's revelation that all Christians are loved by God regardless of their skill and works, Luther is said to have preached that God can love us even when we throw a gutter ball.
Reformation Celebration Bowl-athon: Alone, or with a group, you can bowl for a good cause. Raise funds for your cause (we recommend the
ELCA World Hunger) asking people to pledge money for your game, or per pin that you knock down. As you bowl, remember that your faith is not determined by your skill level.
