In the Beginning Jumping into God's Story

Jump In!





Over the course of the next year, our children will hear a sequential view of God's Story from the Bible. "In the Beginning " is an excellent curriculum developed by Willow Creek and used by thousands of children's ministries across the country.

We have just purchased "Jumping into God's Story". If you have been a volunteer in the Family ministry at Mosaic for a year or more you will recognize the format. During the next four weeks the format will stay the same. Each teacher will review the lesson section for your scheduled week and modify to teach the basics to your kids.

In five weeks we will take it up to the next level! Now that we are back in the cafeteria and have a large group area, we are kicking into high gear. Gary, a set up team volunteer, has agreed to design sets for each of the units. We will have similar props and stage design described in the curriculum. We want to create an environment for story time that is interesting and captures the attention of our great Kids. We will use props, drama, sound effects, and music to introduce great stories from the Bible that share the message of God's great love for us!

Do you love the teaching experience? I am searching for creative enthusiastic teachers to lead each unit and story time during your scheduled class. The basics will stay the same but the environment and activities will strengthen. Our main goal is to share the love of Jesus through stories from God's word that show and tell of his great love for us! The lesson is the most important part of our kids experience.

You can learn much more about the Mission/Vision and Guiding values here.

We are Family!

Who's in your circle? At Mosaic church you have the opportunity to be a part of a small group. Many of you already attend a small group on a weekly basis.
As a volunteer in Discoverylane you are more than a name in a timeslot on the monthly schedule! We are a part of a family too! You are an important member on our M. Kids Team. We desire to grow in relationship with one another as we serve together!
Each Sunday at 9:00 in the M.Kids hallway we meet for a brief time of prayer and encouragement. Be sure and join us as we share and grow in relationship. We are always here to support and encourage you and your family. Together we can help build up the families of Mosaic church.
