How does the Gospel respond to these questions?

Budrio local associations council meeting

This evening Stefano and Giovanni (our newly appointed church treasurer) will participate to the biannual Budrio local associations council meeting.
This is the first time we're invited to this meeting as newly recognised social association in Budrio.
We're really glad to the Lord for how He made everything to cooperate to this result. Indeed in these days it is proving more and more difficult for churches to receive this status.
We've been told in our case, the endorsement of the Mayer and the head of the social workers has proved vital.
Thank you Lord for your providence!
This is the web-page dedicated to Impatto Budrio in the Council website!
