Mosaic Fort Worth

Please meet Bryan Stevenson and discover his work at The Equal Justice Initiative!!

We had a wonderful time with the loving nativity tonight!

In our discussion of race in America, I came across this article. I thought it was important because of the way our discussions, and seeking understanding is shedding light into my darkness of ignorance.

We Shouldn't Always Feel Comfortable: Why 'To Kill a Mockingbird' Matters A good education should, inherently, cause us discomfort. Part of the "enlightening experience" built into the definition of the word itself is shining light into the darkness of our own ignorance. When has that ever felt good?

We should stop for a moment and ask ourselves — at this point in our history, after Katrina, after Rita, after Ike, after Gustav, after the national recession, after the BP oil catastrophe and after the tornado — if presented with the opportunity to build monuments that told our story or to curate these particular spaces … would these monuments be what we want the world to see? Is this really our story?

Please take time to read THIS speech!

We will not be having our usual service this week, July 29. We will resume our regularly scheduled program in August!

Are you connected? If your church has the best speaker, the best band, the best programs, but you are NOT connected to the people, I think you have missed the point. This article made me think of our Mosaic community!

A 75-Year Harvard Study Has Revealed The One Most Important Factor In Human Happiness Have you ever heard of the Harvard study that ran for 75 years to assess what makes us happy? It's a revolutionary study in psychology.

If you are wondering why Mosaic does not have a fancy page, with a more well thought out marketing plan, it is because we are a smallish church of high relationships. This article describes a bit of who we are. Though we are not connected to Pastor Chan or the We Are Church movement, this kind of describes how we operate.

"Today, Chan leads a house church movement in San Francisco called We Are Church. There are currently 14 to 15 house churches, he said, and 30 pastors (two pastors per church) — all of whom do it for free. Each church is designed to be small so it's more like family where members can actually get to know one another, love one another and make use of their gifts."

Francis Chan Goes Into Detail With Facebook Employees on Why He Left His Megachurch Bestselling author Francis Chan recently exposed his heart to Facebook employees, detailing why he left the helm of his thriving megachurch in California seven years ago.

Another great post from our Apostle Bob! https://meadeinternational.org/2017/04/05/preaching-uganda-style/

Preaching Uganda-Style We have returned from Buvuma Island where we have taught and visited church-plants for the last ten days. We are somewhat tired at this point and will take a slow day tomorrow to catch up with ours…

One of our areas of study for this year is the book of Galatians. We won't be linear in our study just yet! Join us for an introduction this week!
Sunday night 5:30!

In all the talk about building walls, Marshall reminds us of something Maya Angelou said.
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."
That is how I like to think about Parents United!
Equipping parents with what they need to help their children be successful! Thank you Marshall for having an EPIC vision!
