Plant a Tree in Wittenberg to Celebrate 500 years of Reformation

While touring Germany, your church can plant a tree in the historic Luther Garden that is being planted in Wittenberg to celebrate the 500 year anniversary of Martin Luther's posting of the 95 Theses. Call 1-800 303-5534 or e-mail us for details. The local landscapers plant the tree A service is held to dedicate the tree An arial view of the Luther Garden in Wittenberg Wittenberg The idea of the garden, organized by the Lutheran World Federation, is to provide something that continually grows and enriches Wittenberg - a sign that symbolizes the vitality and life-connectedness of the reform movement and its worldwide resonance. Churches are invited to participate by planting a tree both in Wittenberg and a corresponding tree at home with an inscription noting the connection to the Luther Garden in Wittenberg. The cost of the tree in Wittenberg is around $650, which covers the tree itself, a local landscaper's services and an official certificate from the Lutheran World Federation. All tree plantings will be recorded in a site plan that can be found on the web site. Click here to see which churches around the world have already participated. "Even if I knew that the world were to collapse tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree today." ascribed to Martin Luther For more details about the Luther Garden, please visit the official website.

If you're planning a trip to Lutherstadt-Wittenberg (between Berlin and Leipzig in Germany) this summer, than we'd like to recommend the services run by the Wittenberg English Ministry. Beginning on May 2 and running through October, you can fellowship with other Christians in the historic Wittenberg churches. There are services on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (new time 6-7pm) and they are often available at other times too. We always include a service with them on our group tours and their ministry is a blessing!
