Hi Mosaic,
It’s a Tessera Sunday weekend, and this Sunday, 7.28.24, there is no gathering at Piedmont Park as we engage in our unique Tessera movement of presence, participation and practice.
We hope this weekend allows you an opportunity to cultivate rest, grace, and mercy among one another.
Come and join us for our 1st Sunday Gathering, 8.4.24, at 10am at Piedmont Park Seventh Day Adventist Church, 4801 A Street. Remember, coffee and tea will be served each gathering at 9:30am in the welcome foyer. Come out a little early and share in Mosaic joy with your church family!
TESSERA MATERIALS
Prayer
Redeeming Sustainer,
visit your people
and pour out your strength and courage upon us,
that we may hurry to make you welcome
not only in our concern for others,
but by serving them
generously and faithfully in your name. Amen.
Scripture
Ephesians 3:14-21
Reflection
May the truth of these Scriptures wash over you. No matter who you are and what season of life you find yourself in, this is a unique time of year when many feel an increased need for strength and encouragement. From our normal life stressors (finances, relationships, health, etc.) to our seasonal stressors (new school year, election season, 90+ degree days) there are so many moments we have the opportunity to reach out to God for rest and renewal.
– In what way does your inner being need strength?
– How do you think knowing God’s love changes those places in you needing strength?
– Do you think our ability to receive that love directly affects the way we are able love and be present in our homes, neighborhoods, communities?
– How can we can encourage one another to rest in the strength provided by God’s love?
SAVE THE DATE – BAPTISM POOL PARTY

KIDS’ WORSHIP
Starting Sunday, August 18th, we will be welcoming our K-5th graders into our opening corporate worship at Mosaic. They will join us in singing and be dismissed before the message. Mosaic’s leadership has discerned this to be a good and beautiful thing for a couple of main reasons.
1. Our Mosaic Kids are part of us. Worshipping together is a beautiful reflection of our multi-generational church family. It’s important for us to see one another, sing one another forward, and turn our hearts and minds toward Jesus together.
2. Our Mosaic Kids leaders are part of us. For Mosaic Kids leaders to worship together with all their Mosaic family on a Sunday morning is essential and life-giving to their faith.
Parents, you’ll still need to check in your K-5th graders at the Mosaic Kids check-in table when you arrive on a Sunday morning. However, your K-5th grade children will not enter their classrooms until after our opening set of gathered worship around 10:30 am. They will be dismissed and meet their teachers at the back doors of the Piedmont Park sanctuary to head to their classrooms at that time. Your nursery and preschool children (ages 0-5) can still check in and go to their classrooms immediately unless you want to have them join you for worship as well. Please share these things with your children as you help them understand the goodness of this movement. We encourage you to not just tell them what’s happening, but help them understand why it’s happening. We believe it to be a joy to share in this gathered worship across our generational spectrum. We will be welcoming one another as Christ has welcomed us.
