Reformation Alive: Eastern Shore Convocation — Revisiting Our Roots — October 30-31, 2026 at Pecometh Camp & Retreat, Centreville, MD, featuring Adam Ramdin

Why This Weekend

Two dates, one unbroken line of faith

The Eastern Shore Convocation falls between two moments that shaped who we are — a reformer's stand against a distant church, and a movement's own hour of testing. Reformation Alive holds both in view.

1517
October 31 · Wittenberg

Martin Luther nails his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door, igniting a reformation built on Scripture over tradition — the root of the movement we still stand in.

1844
October 22 · The Great Disappointment

Adventist believers face the disappointment that refines rather than ends their movement, sending them back to Scripture to discover a message worth carrying forward.

"To have an event on those dates will be an important activity for our churches on the Eastern Shore." John Rengifo · Ministries Director, Chesapeake Conference
Featured Speaker

A storyteller for our history

Adam Ramdin
Producer, Lineage

Adam Ramdin brings the story of Adventist history to life through the acclaimed series Lineage. Across the convocation weekend, he traces the thread from Luther's reformation to the Adventist movement's own birth — inviting the Eastern Shore's congregations to see their roots as very much alive.
