Good Easter Weekend, Mosaic! As we move into the most important weekend in the Christian church calendar I want to invite you to prepare your hearts for God’s work with you. Starting tomorrow (Friday) with our Good Friday service (7:00 p.m.) and concluding with Resurrection...
As I write this, it’s Good Friday. I’m thinking all day about the immensity of the love of God for every one of us— Love large enough to make a plan to save you and me from our sins forever… before the world was even made. Love large enough to leave the...
