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.

The story of the Cervi brothers reminds us that freedom always comes at a price, and this leads us to the great story of biblical redemption, which teaches us that Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and who paid the price for our greatest freedom 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

Sunday Service: A Field of Favor (Ruth 2:1-13)

Tomorrow we'll have our morning service to worship God together and to proclaim His Word in Budrio.

 

 

 

Every Sunday in July and August, we'll interact with the Good Book Company book Ruth: The Lord Provides, by Tony Merida.

Tomorrow we'll engage with "A Field of Favor (Ruth 2:1-13)".
 
Ruth is one of the best short stories ever written. We are drawn to the characters: grieving Naomi, loyal Ruth, and compassionate Boaz. The setting is also intriguing, as it takes place during the time of the judges. The plot is a story of redemption which is part of the grand story of redemption. And at the heart of the resolution is Boaz, a figure who points to David’s greatest son, Jesus.

Home Family Groups

 

Tomorrow evening we'll have only one joint Home Group in Budrio.

We'll have a family time where, while enjoying a good ice cream, we'll read God's Word, we'll pray for one another, and we'll listen at how Jesus works in our lives, following the steps of Psalm 145:4!



"I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. " Psalm 145:1-5
