Gospel Living - Summer in Budrio

As a church family, we want to be "in the middle of the square", at the centre of our community life, to serve and welcome, to celebrate and love, to live and share the Gospel (Acts 17:17), the good news of salvation by grace in Jesus Christ, with everyone!

So tomorrow evening we'll be with our community at the Pasta Fest organised by the Partisan association in Budrio, with whom in 2022 we collaborated for the Christmas Truce project!

This celebration, started in memory of the pasta meal offered by the Cervi family on 25 July 1943 before their martyrdom at the end of the fascist regime in Italy, continues to affirm the founding values of our country: freedom, peace, brotherhood, democracy.

As we are learning in our summer journey through the book of Exodus, the story of the Cervi brothers also reminds us that freedom has a cost, which Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world, paid once and for all! 

"If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free... So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:31-32,36
