One of the ways for you to follow along, even if you
are not with us in person, is to use the Internet
tool of
"youversion."
Youversion offers a downloadable Bible for your phone, and through that software you can access Live Events associated with Mosaic.
There is one for a weekly Thursday morning men's
group and there will be one for our Sunday
gatherings as well.
Just go on the youversion site and click on the "community" tab. Then search for "groups" by using the phrase Mosaic Seattle. |

Build Community & Connect by Serving! |
|
If you'd like to join or start a group near you just let
us know by emailing
Mosaic Groups.
Groups can be simple gatherings of about 8 to 20 people that get together to share some food and honest discussion about how to live life better. Groups range from topical discussions such as relationships to systematically exploring sections of scripture. There are no prerequisites about "knowing the Bible" or sharing personal stuff. ------------------------------------------------ You can further connect to Mosaic by serving somewhere in one of the various ministry opportunities. You can play with expensive technical equipment, hang out with kids or teenagers, make people feel welcome, mentor others, or whatever you are passionate about doing. Let's talk about what you want; start by emailing Mosaic Serve. |
