The place was buzzing last night... Maurice's 80th birthday was celebrated in style with a gathering of his many friends at the church, where we punctuated the night with a "Maurice, this is your lifetime" challenge. It was a roll-out of the rich tapestry of the North Melbourne community and of Maurice's life. Maurice has been a local identity for over 50 years, his enthusiasm, encouragement and sense of humour enfolding many with hope and a sense of belonging. We thought it worthy of a much broader announcement!The Eighth Day is a christian community on the fringes of Melbourne's CBD, committed to exploring models of christian spirituality and community which are grounded in our whole lives. This site continues the blog which first began on our web site at http://theeighthday.org.au/
