We are glad for the Lord's provision of the meeting room at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.
At 10.30 we'll start our service continuing our series on the Pastoral Epistles. We'll engage with Titus 3:3-8 - God has not saved us by works, but those who believe in Him, work!
Paul reminds us of our despair when we were once without God, to remind us of the certainty of who we are now in Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit! So he lifts our gaze from ourselves to direct it to the God who saved us, to look again with the eyes of the transforming Gospel of Christ's love: to ourselves, to our church family, and to the world that is still without God:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10
We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.
