Reformation Day - Family Time

Reformation Day falls on October 31 to commemorate when German monk and theologian Martin Luther's 95 these 
were nailed on the doors of Wittemberg cathedral in 1517.

It's a day to remind us of our duty, our obligation, to keep the light of the gospel at the center of all we do!

As church family we'll meet at our home to watch the 2017 film: Storm and Luther’s forbidden letter.

12 year old Storm's father is arrested for printing a forbidden letter written by controversial reformer
Martin Luther. The boy manages to escape with the original. On the run from inquisitors, Storm is helped by Marieke, a young girl who lives in the city's underground tunnels. Storm tries to save his father before he is executed and get the letter into safe hands. The boy is unsure who he can trust. What begins as a terrifying run from dangerous zealots, becomes a fight for freedom that will never be forgotten.

Christianity Explored - The World We All Want!

Tomorrow  evening we'll restart our 

Christianity Explored Bible Study,
for every age-group!

We have now a regular group of students,
so after having completed our studies on
the Gospel of Mark and Luke,
we engage with The World We All Want course to discover together the big message of the whole Bible.

We run these public meetings @ 

the newly open pub in Budrio!

The World We All Want presents the gospel through the Bible story. It presents the biblical worldview that people need if they are to understand the work of Christ.
Often presentations of the gospel are individualistic, focusing on an individual's relationship with God. It then becomes difficult to teach people about the church except in functional terms or terms than contradict the message of grace. The focus of the Bible, however, is on God's plan to create a people who are his people.


Tomorrow with Stefano 
we'll conclude with Session Four:  

God promises a new world - Romans chapter 4

The course begins by engaging with people's desire for a better world, showing how God promises such a world in the Bible and how Jesus gave us a glimpse of that world. This provides a natural point of contact with people; a common aspiration.
It establishes at the beginning of the course a reason why the Bible story is so important. As the course develops, however,
it makes it clear that this world cannot be human-centred,
it must be God-centred.
