Theology for Breakfast with Crosslands

Due to the new COVID restrictions for public meetings, we'll meet online through the video conferencing app ZOOM.

Relationships are fundamental to our identity, yet they are fraught with difficulty, fear, conflict and uncertainty. Coming to Christ puts us automatically into relationship with a community of his people. The gospel enables relationships to fulfil their purpose and design. The gospel transforms all our relationships. It resolves conflict, and gives new purpose to friendships, parenting and marriages. Together we'll discover how we can be freed to serve and love others with gospel intentionality.

 

Usually, following Luther's Table Talks example, we'll have met @ Central Café in Mezzolara where, while enjoying a traditional breakfast with capuccino & croissant, we'll have engaged with God's Word discovering the beauty of theology in our everyday life!
In this moment to support our local economy, we've decided to order from local cafés our breakfasts delivered at home! This is a simple and practical way to keep blessing our beautiful community in Budrio!
