All-Church Summit #2
Saturday, November 16 | Mosaic
8:30 am – 12:30 pm
You are invited to the second of three church-wide Summits. Summits are a vantage point from which we can listen to, and discern God’s leading. This is a spiritual discovery process, where we are asking the Holy Spirit to speak to Mosaic.
During the second summit we will focus on the outward ministry of Mosaic, reflecting on our greater-Portland mission field and ministry focus. We will creatively think about vision and strategically discern what values we must embody to get us there.
Everyone in the Mosaic family, age 15 and up, are invited to participate!
Childcare available with RSVP.
RSVP HERE.
Sundays: Mosaic Kids
Sundays | Mosaic
10:00 am
Each Sunday, kids ages three years old – 5th grade are welcomed into a safe and fun community committed to their growth as world-changing followers of Jesus. Come ready to play and learn with caring volunteers and age-appropriate activities.
Families check their kid(s) in at the Ipad stations in the lobby and then participate in the Mosaic gathering together through the first worship songs. At dismissal, a parent/guardian can take their child down to their classroom in the Lower Level.
40 Days of Fasting & Prayer
September 21 – November 6
Fasting is a spiritual practice that has shaped God’s people for centuries. Denying ourselves of food for a set time aligns our physical bodies with the spiritual reality of our need for God. We see this modeled across Scripture, including in the lives of Daniel and Jesus! Fasting forms us, and as we step into an intentional season of fasting, we’re expecting that Jesus will speak and the Spirit will strengthen us.
Particularly, this 40-day period will take us into the week of the presidential election. With so many voices and “ideas” vying for our attention and allegiance, we as Jesus followers must train our hearts and minds on his voice and devote our first allegiance to him. Our desire is that as a community, Mosaic will grow in embodying the culture of the Kingdom of God, and offer a compelling alternative to the strife and fear that plague the world.
If you recieve the Mosaic Weekly, you’ll receive the Devotional Guide each day (Monday-Saturday). Pick some intentional meals or days to fast over the 40 days as we seek God individually and together.
Fall Devotional Sign-Up
We want to immerse ourselves in the story of Scripture and as we learn from Daniel, we’ll have reflections written by people in the Mosaic family to guide our hearts.
Sign up for a day to write a short devotional (examples included) along the lines of the passage and theme for the week.
