Ferragosto as Gospel Opportunity

Tomorrow we'll have a traditional Ferragosto evening, which is an Italian Harvest Festival.
The Feriae Augusti (Augustus' Holidays), introduced by Emperor Augustus in 18 BC,
to celebrate the harvest and the end of a long period of intense agricultural work.

Nowadays is traditional to have a meal with friends, so we decided to invite @ our home for a pizza party, 5 friends we got to know in these years, alongside our church family!

We want to celebrate Ferragosto as a Gospel opportunity, rejoicing in the way God makes the Gospel seed to sprout in the hearts of men and resting in the certainty of His Harvest!

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:10-11
