10th Exchange Summer Camp in Budrio

From Monday the 24th to Sunday the 30th of June, we'll have our 10th Exchange English Sport Camp for teenagers, organised in partnership with Youth for Christ Italy and Bethel of Houston Church, Texas, USA.

From 2014 to 2024, every summer we hosted a team from Houston to engage with kids from Budrio and surrounding towns and villages. Over the years we have played Rugby and American Football, Volleyball and Sitting Volleyball, Baseball and Ultimate Frisbee, Lacrosse and Cricket, Basketball and Football!

On top of having fun and interacting during these many activities, every morning we have a Talk from the Gospels on the theme of the day and every afternoon an interactive lesson with native English-speaking teachers.

And every year we end the camp with a service project where serve our beautiful community.

Paul showed us that the good news of the Gospel of grace, must lead to the good life of the grace of the Gospel of Christ, which missionally is a life that is beautiful to see and beneficial to others: to our families, our friends, comrades and colleagues, to our community!

"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'." Acts 20:35

Sunday Service: Pastoral Epistles - Titus 3:3-8

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 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.

Theology for Breakfast

Tomorrow we'll continue
our series of meetings:  
Theology for Breakfast! 
Following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll meet from 9 to 11am @ Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a breakfast with capuccino & croissants, we'll engage with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!

Together we'll interact with the module: Union with Christ, starting Unit 2. Location And Representation.

 

Union with Christ is the centre of the gospel. It’s been called the central doctrine of salvation. This course will teach you how the profound truth of a Christian's union and identity with Christ drives us to mission and joy in him. All that Christ has achieved for his people is ours through our union with him. Heart change and mission flow out of who Jesus is, and how we are bound to him by faith. This course will teach you to understand and enjoy your relationship with Jesus in everyday life on mission.
