Ice Angels—giving away hot meals and clothing and other items every Wednesday to those experiencing life on the Streets
Monthly Young Adult service projects—our young adults meet monthly for food and fellowship and a service project
United Women of Faith (UWF)—our women are involved in a multitude of ways helping children, youth, and women
Skyline—our church and many individuals support the work of Skyline which offers assistance to those living in the shadows of the city

From Sunday school to the children’s message during worship, from children’s church to youth group on Friday nights, from trunk-or-treat to the Easter egg hunt - Mosaic is enthusiastically involved in the lives of children and youth.

The largest part of our budget in the area of justice goes to 2SLGBTQ+ concerns.
· Monthly ads in the Gayly newspaper
· Yearly donation to Reconciling Ministries Network (UMC) & Open and Affirming Coalition (UCC)

VOICES ORGANIZED IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT (VOICE)
Mosaic is a member of VOICE (www.voiceokc.org/)
($1200/year)
VOICE (Voices Organized in Civic Engagement) is a coalition of congregations, nonprofits, worker associations, and schools that have come together out of a deep sense of mission and concern about the pressures families face in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. We work to better understand those pressures by listening to the experiences of the people in our member institutions and engaging those impacted in better understanding the issues and areas. We foster ongoing, respectful conversations about lived experiences, rejecting ideological shouting matches.
RACIAL JUSTICE
Although Mosaic is not a formal member of any organization doing racial justice work, we do take racial justice seriously. You will find many of our members involved with various organizations.
