10th Anniversary of Church la Piazza - All the cities and villages!

Tomorrow afternoon we'll celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our church presence in Budrio, at the Auditorium.

From the beginning our church vision has been characterised by the desire to live the Gospel in the Community, carrying out the Mission of Christ!

This vision emerges clearly in our name, which refers back to the Book of Acts, in the Bible, where we read of the Apostle Paul's arrival in the city of Athens. Here we find him daily in the market square reasoning and discussing the Gospel with those who were there (Acts 17:17). Every Italian piazza is then made up of the many typical blocks, represented in the cross of our logo, reminding us how each of our church family members is unique and different, but in Christ we are united in a wonderful way to be together the body of his church (Romans 12:4-5). 

"All towns and villages!" is the theme we choose for our 10th anniversary, taken from the words of the Gospel of Matthew 9:35 - "Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages... proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom!"
Our desire is to translate into practice the love of Jesus for all cities and villages, which includes and enhances mutual opportunities and challenges, developing a joint vision, between and for, the urban and rural context. 

For this we're very happy to have as speakers: Mark Reeves, pastor of Buffalo City Church in Jamestown, US, who has experience in pastoring churches both in urban and rural contexts; Rob Scothern, pastor of Peak Trinity in Bakewell, UK, member of the Steering Group of The Rural Project and Elio Vannelli, vice-chairman of Acts 29 Italy!
