Today
Today Urban Saints has around 800 youth and children's groups meeting around the UK on a regular basis. Thousands of volunteers work together to organise events, holidays, mission trips and training courses in the UK and overseas.
As well as their website, Urban Saints has accounts on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to keep followers updated. A new online programme, MIMIC, has recently been introduced to target an audience which is increasingly technology-focused. One of the ways in which Urban Saints has promoted this programme is through the distribution of a foldable z-card guide that provides background and contact information.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
“All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
“Whether we regard the Women’s Liberation movement as a serious threat, a passing convulsion, or a fashionable idiocy, it is a movement that mounts an attack on practically everything that women value today and introduces the language and sentiments of political confrontation into the area of personal relationships.”
—Arianna Stassinopoulos (b. 1950)
