Gary's Funeral

I forgot to mention that Gary's funeral will be Saturday, 1 PM, January 25th at Fourth Memorial Church: 2000 N. Standard Street, Spokane, Washington.

Gary Heeter

I got the news from Nick. I was shocked. I don't know how to feel. Gary was part of Mosaic from the beginning, from before the beginning. It is ironic. According to Art Cosgrove, they had been studying what it would be like to go to heaven when we died in the last small group that Gary was in. Well, he certainly knows what it is like now.

He was supposed to teach the following two life community group sessions. He was also going to preach coming up on February 22nd. God's plans change everything.

Gary will be missed, but those of us who knew him even a little (that would be me) knows he is happy where he is at and that God's timing is perfect and not always so inscrutable.

Gary has spent the last few years healing over past wounds in Grace Groups. For those of us who have taken part of that journey with them, we got to see part of the transformation in his life. We saw with awe as it appeared that God was preparing Gary to be leader in Grace Groups, one who would facilitate healing for others. But in fact, it appears that God was preparing Gary to enjoy heaven that much more.

Well done Gary!

New Blood!

Hey, kudos to Nate Powell and Alexis Berry! They are now helping out on sound and video respectively.

We still need more volunteers for these areas.

Also, we need musicians--guitar players, bass, keyboards and especially, drummers.

Claymation Sunday

We certainly had a lot of fun making man in our own image. Thanks to Teresa Sadler for supplying the clay and some of the tools.

The theme was "God Creating us in His Image". So, everybody got a chance to try their hand at making a man in their image either by forming it in clay or drawing an image.






This was the opening video for our service.
YouTube is awesome. We compiled the clips from there.

Artists Needed

Hey, we really need ministry minded individuals to serve in audio-visual and creative planning teams.

Sound Team: Arrives early and sets up sound equipment (speakers, cables, and sound board). Stays after to break down and put equipment away.

Video Projection Team: Arrives early and sets up screens, video projectors, and computer to run Media Shout presentations including Power Point presentations, video clips/loops and other visual effect. Also, we need individuals who will produce video clips for presentation on Sunday morning.

Creative Team Planning--Helps to plan the design and creative elements of the worship services. The desire is to design services that are Experiential (multi-sensory), Participatory (congregational scripture readings, prayer stations, etc.), Image driven(video and graphics to communicate not merely decorate) and Connected (prayerful, transparent and relevant).
