The dream for Mosaic Houston

Weekly Gatherings: Mosaic Houston

Arrive and you are guided to a parking space at a community building. There are tents and what appears to be vendors set up all over the place. Kids are bouncing on moonwalks and music is playing from a DJ. As you approach the festival you discover the tents are opportunities for you become more involved in your community, mission opportunities, and much more. As the service draws near, the activity in the main gathering room becomes apparent on screens and on the sound system. A comedy troupe (or magician, or musician, or video or or or... insert your imagination here) is onstage cutting up with the gathering audience. The tents begin to close up and you move into the gathering space and find the light mood of people talking and laughing and gathering as a community. As the comedians draw their time to an end the worship team starts the service in song and a whirlwind of music, drama, spoken word, prayer and more engage you and suddenly someone invites you to kneel with them and deal with the thing God has raised up in your heart. The music is back and you go back out to the world to be salt and light - recharged and rejuvenated.
