The 2018 Urban Mission Fruitful Christianly four week-series was fantastic and provided a great opportunity to explore what faith in action looks like in everyday life in our city. Garth Eichhorn seamlessly brought together scripture, theology and practice, Graham Mabury shared his wisdom gleaned over many years in media and urban mission, and various others shared from their own Urban Mission experience. The Urban Mission Expo on the last night was a wonderful opportunity to hear a little about what is happening in our city and enquire further about some of the urban mission opportunities in our city.
