Mosaic’s First Blog Entry
Welcome to our new blog site. This blog will hopefully provide a conversation that will help keep you in the loop, give you a place for questions and feedback and help me externally process all the thoughts about Mosaic that are crammed into my brain. However, I'm new to this so be gentle with me!
Given this term we have tackled some huge subjects together we thought it would be good to have a dedicated space to create conversations about our life together. We’ve tackled issues such as eldership, women in leadership, the doctrine of hell and eternal punishment. Just recently we announced our decision to multiply our services to 10.30 and 5pm from Feb 1st 2009. We would love to know your thoughts, opinions and questions.
So, why not suggest some topics to tackle or tell us what you really think? Simply click on the “add a comment” link at the bottom of this post.
I would really appreciate some thoughts about our carol service and our servant evangelism event in the city centre - ‘wrap it up’. We had around 300 people come to the carol service and many guests seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves. At ‘Wrap it up’ we must have served hundreds of people by wrapping up their Christmas presents for free and maybe thousands got to hear about our carol service, chat to people, complete a survey about the true meaning of Christmas or have someone pray for them. Personally I am always so proud when Mosaic hits the streets. People served so hard and seemed to really enjoy themselves. One observer came up to me and said “I’m not a Christian, but I think what you’re doing is superb!”.

Hello,
I was just wondering if there had been any update on some city centre outreach this coming Saturday (20th). Thanks

In true Mosaic style, if you suggest a good idea then you usually end up being asked to make it happen. So Stef Rose is organising an outreach team this Saturday. Contact him for more details. Cheers

Really enjoyed the ‘wrap it up’ outreach! People in town generally seemed happy to stop and talk about what they thought the true meaning of Christmas was, and were often open to hear about Jesus, which was great!
Would be good to do something like this more regularly, I think it works well with some music as well (this time we had the Salvo Army blasting out the carols!). Perhaps we could do something on a smaller scale this Saturday before next week’s carol concert?
