I believe Vine Middle School is going to be the perfect place for Mosaic Church to worship our Lord. This past Sunday was our first Sunday at Vine and it was very comfortable for us. It was a clean building and it had heat. That may not sound like a big deal but we have gone without heat a couple of Sundays. Vine will allow us to grow and expand our Sunday morning ministries. Thank you Lord.

Donald led our worship and he shared a tremendous burden that he was carrying on his heart. His mother's cancer has returned and she is once again receving chemotherapy. His heart was aching but it added to his authenticity as he led worship from his heart. Please pray for his mother. We had two families express an interest in joining Mosaic. We rejoice for their eagerness to be a part of God's family.

Now that we are somewhat stable in our Sunday morning worship, we are ready to launch our new church. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5th @ 10:30am we will officially begin Mosaic Community Church with what is called in the church planting world, a launch service. On Super Bowl Sunday we will begin what we believe is a supernatural work of God. A multi-ethnic, multi-cultural church that exists to rescue, restore, reconcile, and rebuild people and communities by the transforming life of Jesus Christ. Built on relationships and an outward community focus, we hope the name of Jesus Christ will be honored and glorified and His power will be practically evident by all who experience His touch.

We are also in the beginning stages of instituting our elder leadership. We hope to have an elder commissioning service at the end of February or early March. We are also at the beginning stages of developing home groups to build relationships and continue our journey as we grow and mature into passionate followers of Christ.

Many excited things in the days ahead. Praise the name of Jesus Christ who is our Great Redeemer. He alone is worthy to be praised. Everyone is invited to our launch service on February 5th and we hope you will bring someone with you. God bless you.
