This weekend is the TrueCity conference in Hamilton, ON. TrueCity is a network of churches in town who collaborate together and encourage and inspire each other to become more and more present in our respective neighbourhoods. The Freeway has been part of TrueCity for about a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed learning with the other fine folks in the network who are also trying to figure out what bringing God's shalom into a neighbourhood looks like.

I am leading two sessions at the conference this year:

• The first one, I am excited to be co-leading with Alan Roxburgh - my buddy and one of my mentors - called "growing missional leaders." Alan is a Canadian guru when it comes to developing missional leaders and congregations and is one of the key voices at Allelon. It is an honour to be "sharing the mic" with him.
• The second one, I am leading on my own and it is called "the gospel in our urban context."

I will try and make podcasts and notes of the two sessions available after the conference... although I have a funny feeling that Bill Kinnon will be there shooting video for Allelon.

I am spending the day tomorrow with Alan and his wife Jane working on developing our Allelon Training Centre which we are opening soon in Hamilton... and working out how we will lead our session together at TrueCity. Good times.
