Current opportunities to serve

At Mosaic, we intentionally bring beauty to the people around us; each week we seek to beautify both someone in Mosaic as well as a neighbor, co-worker, or friend by sending an encouraging note, fixing a car, dropping a food basket or anything else that would bring beauty to their lives. We also seek to bring beauty to the earth and our environment knowing that the care or defacement of God’s creation is in our hands. We want love accompanied by action to mark our faith community.  Mosaic works with a number of local organizations who are serving Bellingham and Whatcom County. It is our privilege to join them in their ongoing efforts and hope that you will jump on some of these opportunities in our wonderful area.

Current Opportunities

March 10, 2019

10am - 1pm

Join us for an old fashioned Barn Rais....er Demolition and a kitchen demo on the same weekend!


One of our Mosaic families lost their old barn during the snow (see picts to the right). So, we going to help them get the demolition completed and unbury their truck. There are old nails and broken wood around, so families should prepare to help keep the kids safe, but they will also have a blast on this beautiful property.

Meet at the Majestic at 10am. We'll caravan down to Bo, where the house is. You can stay for a couple hours or longer if you want.  If you want to drive directly to the Corp house, here are the directions. Families welcome!


We are also going to help the Bardosch family tear out their old kitchen so that they can get ready for the new one. If you would like to help with this project, email Matt.



Here's some of the opportunities that are currently available:


Family Promise Whatcom County:

Family Promise needs volunteers to help with a family from February 10-17. 

We are looking for two churches to take a week each in February to help host Family Promise families at The Firs.  The weeks start Feb. 10 and Feb. 17.  So, each church would start on Sunday of their week and serve through Saturday of that same week.  Here are the volunteer needs:


Each night (so that is 7 total nights) we need 2-4 people to make dinner and eat dinner with the families from approx. 5-7 pm (families usually arrive about 5:30, so that time includes dinner prep).


Each night we need 2-4 (again, 7 total nights) people to fellowship with the families from 7-9 pm.  This includes playing games, watching a video, helping with homework, doing whatever activity the volunteers might like to share, etc. (I brought nail polish a couple of times and we painted nails with whomever wanted to).  


A few nights we will need a couple of people willing to sleepover at The Firs - that would start at 9 pm and last until the families leave around 7 am.  I have a volunteer from CTK who is willing to do the bulk of the overnight shifts, but I need to clarify exactly how much she is planning on doing.  Sometimes departure is a bit earlier than 7 am and on the weekends it might be a little later, but anything later would be discussed with whomever was volunteering ahead of time.


This would be a good time to "try out" a week of serving with Family Promise to see how it went in your congregation. Families with children are encouraged to serve!  It would be a huge help to us as it is getting close and we need to get some commitments made for those weeks.  If you decide to try it out, I would come to your congregation and help someone who might be willing to be a point person (we call them the volunteer coordinator).  I would help them get the sign up system going, inform your congregations, and then train your volunteers.  Whatever assistance you need, I will be willing to offer.
