Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Charlotte collects &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Pop Tabs&lt;/span&gt; to recycle and uses the money to provide room and board for families who have sick children in the local hospitals. Mosaic will have a collection container for pop tabs in the children's check-in area soon. There just isn't an easier way to help families out than taking 2 seconds to pop a tab! Also, RMH is always looking for groups to provide and serve meals to families staying there- another wonderful opportunity for small group/Team service!

"In the Beginning " is an excellent curriculum developed by Willow Creek and used by thousands of children's ministries across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  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 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;review&lt;/span&gt; the lesson section for your scheduled week and modify to teach the basics to your kids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.  O&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ur&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can learn much more about the Mission/Vision and Guiding values here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.willowcreek.com/children/curr/kits/InTheBeginning/#home"&gt;http://www.willowcreek.com/children/curr/kits/InTheBeginning/#home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure and check out this site!  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Whether&lt;/span&gt; you are a teacher, volunteer,  nursery or Hub Team member it is a great idea  to know all about what we desire for the families of Mosaic and their kids.

For me, it's the cozy lounge in the back of a quiet bookstore, or the ocean at midnight under the stars. Maybe you are addicted to Starbucks, or a particular bed and breakfast in the mountains. It's the first restaurant you think of when someone asks where you would like to eat. A favorite resort vacation spot that calls to you in the spring or all the creativity of Disney! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;The church should be the most irresistible place in our community. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;Jesus Christ was and is completely irresistible!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;When He walked this earth people were drawn to him! They came by the thousands. They climbed trees to get to him, pushed through crowds to touch his garments, tore off rooftops to lower in friends. They journeyed for days to hear His message, traveling long distances. The power of God at work through us is positively irresistible!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;Our objective, our number one priority in Family Ministry, is to create amazing irresistible environments that provide an atmosphere where children and parents can become fully devoted, passionate followers of Christ Jesus. That's our job as Volunteers on Sunday Morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;It's about Kids having a blast, in the safest, coolest environment ever, all while discovering the love that God has for them and their families.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;At Creation, God started with a void and empty space. He didn't compare a dark empty world with the glory of Heaven and think "I can't do this with what I have here" Instead He set the stage for us by creating our wonderful environment! He filled it with things that would be irresistible!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;God created the earth to connect with us! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;We can create an irresistible environment for the families of Mosaic as they connect with God. If God can help Noah build and ark, the Israelites build a temple, and Nehemiah build a wall....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;We can create an irresistible environment for Family Ministry!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;Let's challenge ourselves to think creatively!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/821728636568055878-7350024916334832691?l=discoverylane.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/feeds/7350024916334832691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=821728636568055878&amp;postID=7350024916334832691' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/7350024916334832691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/7350024916334832691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/2008/07/irresistible-environments.html' title='Irresistible Environments'/><author><name>Renee Lewis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16328080754161575446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_qhEM06RDrK8/SHdgq8nHFaI/AAAAAAAAABs/axDrAov9EdA/S220/renee.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qhEM06RDrK8/SH4ZufBxEYI/AAAAAAAAAB0/oeFY0O2G2N4/s72-c/collage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821728636568055878.post-8342615490521114249</id><published>2008-07-10T00:22:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-11T09:27:28.687-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Purpose'/><title type='text'>What?..Why?..How?</title><content type='html'>Our Vision in Family Ministry , the purpose of M.kids, both &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Discoverylane&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Kidscape&lt;/span&gt; is to make passionate young followers of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;As a part of "SEEK" focus of Mosaic Church, our main objective is to create environments where children and their families can be introduced to the love of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;We carryout this objective by giving kids the opportunity to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KNOW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;the love of Jesus Christ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GROW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;in relationship with Him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;GO &lt;/strong&gt;into their world and share the love of Jesus with others&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what does this look like? How do we as a team of volunteers facilitate an environment that meets this objective? Each of us serves in different roles, with children of different ages and developmental stages. How can we work towards the same goal? Let's break it down together!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jesus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loves&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Me&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This I Know&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, Jesus loves Me!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jesus &lt;/strong&gt;(Infants, Toddlers, Early Twos)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Volunteers working with this age group use deliberate efforts to share the names Jesus and God with Kids.

With God's love as the most important foundation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Me &lt;/strong&gt;(Kindergarten and first grade)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;This is a great age to tell the kids that the Jesus they have heard so much about wants to have a personal relationship with them! They can be a forever friend of Jesus! They are amazed that Jesus wants to take the punishment for all the wrong things that they do...He'll even help me make the right choices...Wow, now that's a friend!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This I Know &lt;/strong&gt;(second and third grades)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Along comes a growing ability to read, cognitive abilities increase.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We continue to offer kids the opportunity to begin a relationship with Christ.

They learn that the Bible is a place they can turn with confidence when they want to learn more about Jesus, a relationship with him, and life as a christian. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yes, Jesus Loves Me!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The opportunity to begin a relationship with Christ continues. In this age we prepare kids to have a boldness in their faith and beliefs. These are the beginning of strengths that will carry them trough a lifetime of challenges to come. "I can say no to wrong stuff and Yes to Jesus!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Challenge yourself&lt;/strong&gt; to step back and look at your role as a volunteer. How can you aid a child, assist a family, in the age group and area in which you serve? We are a team of people who create environments and work with families to set the stage for a child's spiritual development. We want all the children in our ministry to experience each of these steps to Christ.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/821728636568055878-8342615490521114249?l=discoverylane.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/feeds/8342615490521114249/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=821728636568055878&amp;postID=8342615490521114249' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/8342615490521114249'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/8342615490521114249'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-are-we-doing.html' title='What?..Why?..How?'/><author><name>Renee Lewis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16328080754161575446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_qhEM06RDrK8/SHdgq8nHFaI/AAAAAAAAABs/axDrAov9EdA/S220/renee.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821728636568055878.post-4896121862703419753</id><published>2008-06-29T23:36:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-24T00:48:15.191-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Slideshow'/><title type='text'>Mosaic Church M.

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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;So why have you chosen Family Ministries as your area of service?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal experience in introducing children and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;families&lt;/span&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesus Loves children Mark 10&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;him to&lt;/span&gt; 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 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;owies&lt;/span&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Why have you chosen Family Ministries as your area of service?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/821728636568055878-4266452017022440243?l=discoverylane.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/feeds/4266452017022440243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=821728636568055878&amp;postID=4266452017022440243' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/4266452017022440243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/821728636568055878/posts/default/4266452017022440243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://discoverylane.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-family-ministry.html' title='Why Family Ministry?'/><author><name>Renee Lewis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16328080754161575446</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_qhEM06RDrK8/SHdgq8nHFaI/AAAAAAAAABs/axDrAov9EdA/S220/renee.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821728636568055878.post-3641106391547014911</id><published>2008-06-14T22:31:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-14T23:03:56.423-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ministry'/><title type='text'>Amazing Adventure</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:+0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Never Forget that God has called you to your ministry!
