Seminar on Gospel Centred Evangelism


Tomorrow afternoon, Stefano will speak at a seminar on Evangelism at the Evangelical Church Shalom in Reggio Emilia.

For this course we'll engage with the material from the Crosslands module on Evangelism, working out on how to apply it to our culture and communities!

SUNDAY SERVICE: Matthew 26:17-30 - The Passion: At Jesus' Table

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.

 

 



 

We are glad for the Lord's provision of the Auditorium, a former church building reconverted to be a cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio

At 10.30 we'll start our service with our series on Matthew's Gospel - The King & his Kingdom!
 
With Stefano we'll engage with Matthew 26:17-30 - The Passion: At Jesus' Table!
The words of Jesus with whom we share, celebrate and preach the Lord's Supper, focus on the death of the King for his people, but the legacy of this New Testament sacrament points our eyes, beyond Calvary and beyond the cross - just as there was a last Passover, there will be a last Lord's Supper: "I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom" Matthew 26:29
 
 
 

We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage and families will have activities to keep interacting with God's Word during the week.

MySpace Club 4 Teens - National Kindness Days!


Tomorrow afternoon we'll have a special
Exchange Camp Reunion for the
National Kindness Days, with a taster of
our My Space Club 4 Teens
for this school year.

We organize this club for local kids,
in partnership with Budrio Town Hall
as part of their after-school programme.

In this way, we've been given a room in Budrio's Library and social workers are sending some of the kids they follow. 
As part of our club, we also offer help
with their English home-works.

 


 
 
 
Together we'll engage with the YfC Rock Solid material, interacting with the theme: God's loving-kindness!

 

We'll play lots of fun games like: Alphabet of Kindness, Hit The Bottle, Positive Post-It Day, Dodgeball Pegs, Basketball Awareness Test, Two Stories, Kind Words Bowling, Compliment Balloons, God's Loving-Kindness, Yes/No/I don't know, Pass on the Thank You!, which will serve as illustrations to Stefano's Talk from Nehemiah 9:16-17, where we'll ask ourselves: If kindness is so popular, why is our culture so harsh? In a world that’s hungry for kindness, we must look to the author of kindness to teach us what kindness truly is. As Nehemiah tells us, our loving-kind God doesn’t merely tolerate us or endure us with distaste. He loves us with a fierce loving-kindness. God the Father sent Jesus Christ to extend to us the ultimate kindness: our salvation. In Christ, we’re also set apart to be transformed into his likeness through the Spirit who produces the godly fruit of kindness in our lives!

"...You are God, Ready to pardon, Gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, Abundant in kindness, And did not forsake them." Nehemiah 9:17

SUNDAY SERVICE: Matthew 26:1-16 - The Passion: What is the value we place on Christ and what is of value to Him?

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.

 

 



 

We are glad for the Lord's provision of the Auditorium, a former church building reconverted to be a cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio

At 10.30 we'll start our service with our series on Matthew's Gospel - The King & his Kingdom!
 
With Stefano we'll engage with Matthew 26:1-16 - The Passion: What is the value we place on Christ and what is of value to Him?
The life of Christ is inestimable, and He gives inestimable value to our lives by having given His life for us!
The only response to such love is therefore to give Him our whole life, which He purchased at the cross, this is the motivation for our sanctification, for our living the Gospel, living His love in the world, for, as Paul says: "Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed" 1 Corinthians 5:7
 
 
 

We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage and families will have activities to keep interacting with God's Word during the week.

SUNDAY SERVICE: Matthew 25:31-46 - What is the separating factor?

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.

With Stefano we'll engage with Matthew 25:31-46 - What is the separating factor?
Jesus' emphasis is not on what we do, but on who we do it for. Because he is the good shepherd who gathers his sheep, and gives his life for them, but he will be the shepherd who will come to separate his sheep from the goats who do not belong to him! What divides all of humanity into 2 groups is our personal relationship with Jesus: which side of Christ are we on today?
