Mosaic Church M. Kids



This week the Families of Mosaic experienced our first Sunday At Mallard Creek. It was so exciting for parents and children alike. A brand new environment infused with enthusiastic volunteers, passionate worship, and brand new stuff for the kids! M. kids, from babies in Discovery Lane, toddlers and preschoolers, and elementary students in Kidscape experienced the love of Jesus in a fresh and vibrant atmosphere! Fantastic service and friendly faces made this a Sunday to remember. The energy was incredible! Thanks to all.

What message will we send?

Everyday we send many messages to the children we come in contact with.
With our spoken words, actions, and attitudes we speak loudly into the lives of the little ones who listen so intently.
What message will we send this Sunday? As I busy myself with new toys, scheduling concerns, and making sure everything is in place, I am reminded of the most important things.
Each opportunity we get to serve the children and families of Mosaic we must communicate the love and greatness of Christ. With a smile, a gentle heart, and the right words we can send the only Message that matters: Jesus loves you and wants to be your friend!
As we prepare for the great things God has in store for us at our new location, remember to pray that nothing will speak louder than this truth.

Everyone is so excited about the upcoming transition to Mallard Creek Highschool. We discussed ways to make the move smooth. The Family Ministry of Mosaic Church is Awesome. There are so many gifted and talented people with a heart to serve children and their families. I am so proud to be a part of such a creative team!

Why Family Ministry?

There are so many ways to be active in service at Mosaic. Whether you greet with a smiling face, offer coffee and muffin tops, serve as a sound technician, usher people into the presence of God through worship, or lead a small group God has a place for you!

So why have you chosen Family Ministries as your area of service?

My personal experience in introducing children and families to Christ began when I was a kid myself. I just love witnessing the wonderment a child experiences when they first discover the awesomeness of Jesus. I have served in the Children's Ministry arena for more than 10 years.

When I first came to Mosaic and discovered so many ways to become involved I had a choice to make. Do I stay continue to work with kids or does God want to use me in a new way? The opportunities are limitless.

Jesus Loves children Mark 10

This story touches my heart in a special way that leads me to spend time with children. Once there were some mothers who were bringing their children to Jesus for him to touch and bless them. The disciples shooed them away so as not to bother Jesus. But of course our Lord invited the children to come and sit with him. I can imagine that he got down on the ground and sat near them. Touching and praying for their owies, and admiring the cool rock a little boy pulled from his sack. I have often wondered about the impact those few moments had on the children who were present. I imagine they grew up to have families of their own and to retell the story of how one day Jesus had taken the time to play with them and bless them with physical touch.

We have that same opportunity each weekend! To be the smile, and warmth of Jesus to the children at Mosaic. We can, by our actions, words, and kindness share with kids that God is an awesome God who wants to be their friend! We can encourage and strengthen families one hour at a time. We can partner with parents to introduce our children to a lifelong devotion to Christ Jesus.

Amazing Adventure

Never Forget that God has called you to your ministry! Research shows that from the ages of birth to five, children are the most impressionable. The values, beliefs, and behaviors that begin to form often stick with us throughout the course of our lives.By serving in Discovery Lane you have taken on a highly challenging, yet rewarding task.



God has an amazing adventure planned for us and for the children we reach each week! Lead with diligence, excellence and confidence, for you are not at work alone. God loves our children and the families we touch even more than we do.He wants the absolute best for them. That is why He called you!
