Scot McKnight's Prayer for the Week

After our chat tonight about the Holy Spirit and the Trinity, I stumbled onto this prayer over at Jesus Creed. Enjoy.

"Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."

Mosaic Mamas

We are gathering again this Tuesday, May 20th.

And thanks to everyone helping with the kids! We now have it covered!

This week we'll be hearing from our own Willow Weston. She rocks. Come on down to the Atkins' on Tuesday morning at 10am and join in the fun!

As for all of you Moms - What do you think of our time together so far? How is God speaking to you? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Kids Volunteers Needed this Sunday - May 18th

Hi everyone!

We have several people on this weekend's kids team that will be out of town Sunday. Anyone who could help out with the 4-9 year olds on Sunday would be greatly appreciated. We will also need some help with set-up, which begins at 4:15 at the Majestic. E-mail Carla at carla@mosaicnw.com if you can help!

Thanks!

Rhythm

"'All God's children got rhythm. That's the way God made us.'
Life reflects that rhythm. Sleeping & waking. Work & rest. Going to school & earning a living. Gathering as a community to worship God, being nurtured in faith & going out to shape others.
The rhythm in God's design is seen through the trajectory of growth from infancy to early childhood, from middle childhood to youth, & on to adulthood. As we minister to children we must respect, and adjust to, the rhythm of the child's development."

from Children Matter: Celebrating their Place in the Church, Family and Community

I'm reading this excellent book on kids. Today, I ran across this quote and thought it fitting. It's encouraging to know that "rhythm" is part of the way God made us. As we attempt to live our rhythms of Beautify, Listen, Eat, Study, & Send together each week, we are attempting to live out and express part of how God created us.
I was also challenged by the concept of observing the rhythms of children as they grow, & learning to minister within those rhythms. Good Stuff. Thoughts?

In case you missed the e-mail:

Your commitment to your team actually ends at the end of June. What I would like to do is keep you on these teams through the end of the year with the option to opt out at the end of June. So, if your schedule has changed, if you’re moving or have summer commitments, or if working with the kids just isn’t working for you, please reply to this e-mail and let me know that your June Sunday will indeed be your last Sunday. I will need to start filling your spots. If I don’t hear from you, I will keep you on the schedule, and your July dates are already posted (below). Thanks everyone!!

I appreciate you all more than I can express!
