Mosaic Kids Update

Good evening parents, hope you are all doing well!

As we continue returning back to normal, one of the things we are the most excited about is getting our kids ministry back up and running. As we build our volunteer base back up, we will continue to offer more and more opportunities to disciple and lead our kids in following the way of Jesus. We also have the chance to rethink and reevaluate how we approach children’s ministry - what’s best for our families and community at large as well as hospitable to those who might find their way inside Mosaic on a Sunday morning.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of volunteers and parents in our community, we’ve been able to put together some lessons and direction for the summer. This will allow for our children to once again begin to participate in learning about the deeper truths of who God is, being found in His love and mercy, and worshiping Jesus with their peers in a way that is accessible and life giving for them.

We have also made some minor changes to how things will be structured. This new age breakdown gives the best balance in our classrooms which will allow us to facilitate the love and care that each child deserves and give them their best opportunities to grow in the Joy of the Lord.

Our nursery class will be zero (sitting up) to three years old and will be offered the whole service.

Our middle class will be four years old to second grade and will be offered from the intermission (which will start again tomorrow Sunday June 20th) to the end of the service. This will allow for children to worship with the Church.

Our oldest class will be third through sixth grade. They will meet just during the sermon but will worship and take communion with their parents in the main gathering. This will begin July 4th.

What we hope to do is create an environment where our children feel seen and cared for at their level but also exposed to worship and community in a way that can reveal the glorious mystery of the gospel. Holding that in tension with loving on parents and giving space for their own personal growth. And we also recognize the time volunteers spend pouring out and we want them to feel loved and able to worship on a given Sunday. At Mosaic, we are a family of faith and we value they rhythm and routine of Gathering - we want as many people involved in the worshipping of King Jesus together. Embodied worship matters for all - no matter how big or small.
