                                 Her favorite part of ministry is "the collective of people a moving MOSAIC of Holy diversity"
                                 Working, living, playing, together, we bring to life cultural sayings from my Scot-Irish
                                 background: 'Many hands make light work...  Put it on your shoulder and say it is not
                                 a burden...  We live in joy of heart - a priceless treasure especially in difficult times.  When
                                 we shower others with blessing we cannot help but shower ourselves with blessings too.'
                                 MOSAIC is a site in which people are lifted by joy, genuine care and blessing!"
