Hey Mosaic Friends-

I am SOOO pumped for this Sunday! First, we are wrapping up our series "Better Together" by learning how Jesus wants us to PARTY TOGETHER! Sounds fun, right?!  Second, we are celebrating life change with baptisms during the 10:30 service. There is nothing like celebrating what Jesus has done in the lives of people who have surrendered the leadership of their lives over to Jesus!

Important Update:
Coffee and Donuts- the staff and leadership team at Mosaic has gone back and forth about whether we should have donuts on Sunday mornings, but we have finally come to an official decision: we will no longer offer donuts or cookies on Sunday mornings. Instead, we will be using the money that we have been spending on donuts to start offering better coffee! Pastor Nate has worked out a deal with our local Starbucks, so starting next week we will be proudly be serving Starbucks coffee on Sunday mornings. As a bonus, they will be giving us Starbucks coffee cups to use on Sunday mornings- for free! Better coffee and no more having to deal with your kids (or husband!) begging for another donut hopefully will mean a better Sunday morning experience for everyone!

This is a great opportunity for you to get back on track and also to invite friends and family and a way for us to BLESS our community! (No, this is not some kind of multi-level network marketing thing :-))

Sunday, April 9: MN Teen Challenge Choir!
We are excited to have the Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge Choir come minister to us with songs and testimonies on April 9th! Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge is a Christian based rehab and recover center. For almost 30 years, Mn Adult & Teen Challenge has been restoring hope to people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. This is going to be a great Sunday filled with stories of hope!

Friday, April 14. Good Friday Worship Service (6:30-7:30 PM)
We will be holding a family friendly acoustic worship and communion service at Weaver Lake Elementary School as a way to prepare our hearts for Resurrection Sunday.

Sunday, April 16. Easter!!! 
Easter for us as followers of Jesus is the pinnacle of our church calendar. Jesus' resurrection is the single greatest event in the history of the world and Easter is a time for us to go all out and celebrate what Jesus has done for us! Easter is also a time where 7 out of 10 people who are invited to an Easter service by someone they know will accept that invitation. I'd love to encourage you to start praying about who God would like you to invite to one of our Easter services.

Thanks friends! Have a great weekend!

Pastor Erik
