Tomorrow evening we'll continue

Mid-Week Bible Studies in which we'll keep interacting with what we're learning through the preaching in our Sunday services.

Sunday Service: Christ in the faith of Jephthah - Hebrews 11:32

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 main room in
Le Torri dell'Acqua, the theatre&modern art-gallery right at the centre of Budrio, well known as a cultural meeting point.

At 10.30 we'll start our service continuing our series on Hebrews 11-12.
With Justin we'll engage
with Hebrews 11:32 -
Christ in the faith of Jephthah!

Together we’ll see the beauty of Christ

who redeemed us on the cross, so that we can offer our lives to God as living sacrifices for His Glory & Mission. Romans 12:1

 

Simona & Tony will lead our children's programme
based on The Gospel Project for kids,
in which week by week kids engage with the same
Bible passage and families will have activities
to keep interacting with God's Word during the week.

Prayer & Envisioning Meeting

Tomorrow evening Stefano
will lead our mid-week
prayer & envisioning meeting.

Our desire is to build up our church to have a passion for our community with a global vision for the work of the Lord!

This month we'll pray specifically for the families of the many victims of the collapsed bridge in Genova on the 14th of August. Amongst the victims there was the sister of an evangelical pastor. Similarly, among those who had to leave their homes there is also at least one evangelical family. 

 

For those who would like to give financial aid, we support the Italian Evangelical Alliance collection:

Cause: Pro vittime crollo ponte di Genova

We'll also pray for Giuseppe who we visited last week with Jenny.
Giuseppe did an internship two years ago with us in Budrio after his missional experience in Senegal with WEC Italy.
Giuseppe & his fiancé Sun-min have completed a theological and missional training at the EastWest Bible College in New Zealand, to be prepared to work with WEC in Germany amongst Iranian refugees.
At the moment Giuseppe is doing chemotherapy for a tumour. We were so encouraged by the way the Lord is working in Giuseppe through this and using him to reach out patients at the hospital!

Sunday Service: Christ in the faith of Samson - Hebrews 11:32

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 main room in
Le Torri dell'Acqua, the theatre&modern art-gallery right at the centre of Budrio, well known as a cultural meeting point.

At 10.30 we'll start our service continuing our series on Hebrews 11-12.
With Giovanni we'll engage
with Hebrews 11:32 -
Christ in the faith of Samson!

Together we’ll see that Samson was a strong man, but had a weak faith, yet God used him to begin to free his people from the hands of the enemy, Judges 13:5. Jesus instead by his death on the cross and his victory in the resurrection, has made us truly free forever, John 8:36!

 

Jenny will lead our children's programme

Budrio Preaching Class

This afternoon we'll have our Preaching Class meeting.
We're very excited about this opportunity to invest in the
lives of Nino & Giovanni 
to equip them to preach
God's Word in our church!

With Giovanni we'll dig in Hebrews 11:32 & 
Judges 13-16 to engage with the life of Samson in order to see how he points us to Christ!

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

Sunday Service: Christ in the faith of Barak - Hebrews 11:32

With Stefano we'll engage
with Hebrews 11:32 -
Christ in the faith of Barak!

Together we’ll see the beauty of Christ, 

who takes us in the middle of our weakness,
creating a faith in us and perfecting it 
(Hebrew 12:2), for His glory & mission!

Celebrating with our Community: fish&chips + bike ride with the falling stars

Tomorrow evening we'll join our community in Budrio
for a fish&chips meal in the square.
There will be tables all around Budrio main square where people will sit together enjoying good food and music.


On Saturday evening we'll join the traditional bike ride by night to see the falling stars in the countryside and enjoying fresh watermelons!


These are great opportunities to get to know people from our community, sharing food with them and celebrating the good gifts of the Lord and God's marvellous creation: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." Psalm 19:1
