We are committed to forming an inclusive community of faith deeply engaged with our surrounding community and in vital partnership with groups already doing the good work of mercy and justice here in the northwest metro area of the Twin Cities.
  
We plan to launch weekly worship in the fall of 2011, and until then we will have a number of opportunities to engage with God, with one another, and with our neighbors. Take a look, see what interests you and get involved or contact us if you would like more information!

More evidence that God multiplies the good we do in His name. After starting the No Hassles Youth Food Shelf in the summer of 2011, gifts have been showered upon it. We've expanded capacity so that, in addition to food, we provide clothing to youth so they can keep warm, and even internet access and computers on-site for resume development.
Most recently, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society gave a $5,000 grant to the No Hassles Youth Food Shelf partners. The funds will be used to create temporary youth positions for young people in crisis. Here is a photo of Pastor Rachel and the partners receiving a ceremonial check last week at the food shelf.

Thanks to Mosaic volunteers for stocking this foodshelf every Sunday and keeping it running on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, thanks to the YMCA Point Northwest for staffing the foodshelf with intelligent resourceful people helping kids, thanks to CEAP for sharing a wonderful community hunger ministry, thanks to the Good Samaritan Society for adding their gifts to God's work, and thank you for your continued prayers for this ministry. |

Racing for an End to Youth Homelessness |
|
God has repeatedly blessed Mosaic's ministry with homeless youth in the northwest metro of the Twin Cities. In addition to a recent grant that allowed the acquisition of computers to help youth discover whether they're eligible for benefits and apply for jobs, we have also recently partnered with 4 Rules Racing.
4 Rules Racing is an off-road team that competes around the region in Rally America. You could see their car this weekend (Feb 24-25) at the 100 Acre Wood in Salem, Missouri. And you would want to because the team has decided to partner with the No Hassles Youth Food Shelf and with Mosaic. Check out these pics of their car with its No Hassles and Mosaic stickers!
We pray that this car's driver, also a worshipper with Mosaic, has a safe race and that his witness helps us continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus by building relationships with hungry and homeless people in our community. |

Homelessness in suburbs like Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park looks different than homelessness in the city. Keke Haynes was couch-hopping and used the No Hassles Youth Foodshelf to survive. Watch this clip from News 12 to learn about Keke's story, hear from Pastor Rachel and learn about the Youth Night Out that many Mosaic and other community volunteers helped to make a great success.
