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 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 with our series on the Pastoral Epistles. With Stefano we'll engage with 1 Timothy 5:3-16 - Pastoral Care: Honor the elders who govern well the church!
Paul, in showing us the beauty of Christ's church family, where we are called to care for one another in the gospel, including the men who care for us by leading us to grow and to live the gospel in Christ's world, showed us the beauty of Christ:
"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. ." Ephesians 4:11-16

We'll have a children's talk where kids will engage with the same Bible passage.
