Sunday Service: Visiting Preacher - Paul Berger - Matthew 7:1-14: The Way of the Kingdom!

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 and joined by the team from Bethel Church of Houston, Texas, USA, who will serve at our Exchange Camp, celebrating the faithfulness of the Lord in their partnership since its beginning! 

Paul Berger, Student Ministry Director at Bethel Church, will preach on "The Way of the Kingdom!" from Matthew 7:1-14.

 

 

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

 

During the service we'll celebrate the Lord's Supper, and after the service we will have a fellowship lunch as a church family, sharing the many good foods brought by everyone, and then we'll have a training time for the staff who will serve during Camp Exchange.

Church Family Prayer Walk in Budrio

Tomorrow evening, as church family, we'll have a Prayer Walk around Budrio.

We'll meet at the Hotel in Budrio where we'll start a Prayer Walk through the streets of Budrio, arriving at the Sport Center, where we'll intercede for the 12th Exchange Summer Camp for 12-18 years old in Budrio, praying for the campers and their families! 

As a church family, we'll stop at key points in our town to intercede and pray for the Lord's work in our community!

"But seek the welfare of the city ...and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." Jeremiah 29:7

Sunday Service: Philippians 4:14-23 - Gospel partnership!

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word at the social center Magnolia, a well known cultural meeting point right at the centre of Budrio.

At 10.15 we'll start our service concluding our series on the Paul's Letter to the Philippians, engaging with Philippians 4:14-23 - Gospel partnership!

During the service we'll have our Children's Club, where kids will engage with a Talk on the same Bible passage, followed by a programme dedicated to different age groups.

Where are you going for true joy? Paul radiates a contagious joy here. Though he writes from a Roman prison, he can say, “I rejoice, so you rejoice” (paraphrasing 2:17–18). Paul reminds us that ultimate joy isn’t derived from comfortable circumstances, but from a living, vibrant communion with Christ. Paul says, “For me, living is Christ and dying is gain” (1:21). Paul loves the church at Philippi and refers to it as his “joy and crown” (4:1), but disunity exists in the body (4:2). He provides wonderful instruction for us as we seek to unite in the gospel.[1]
