MOSAIC Arts Camp by Macy Sirmans
This magnificent brick building where we meet for worship,
Ben Brook’s kitchen of mouth-watering smells,
The playground out back – filled with giggles and play,
A towering steeple, withstanding, it prevails.
Murals and posters adorning kids’ church walls,
The Youth Sunday School room – wall painted blue,
Our gym and fellowship hall for community fun,
Mary Turner’s fabulous high-heeled shoes.
The garden, the rainbow, the stable, the cross,
All creatures – great and small,
Inspired, created, molded, and made,
By God – the artist of us all.
Just as he inspired the beauty all around,
Four years ago, he ignited a start,
For the opportunity to teach his majesty to children,
Through various mediums of the arts.
Propelled by his grace and abounding miracles,
Aspects of his unique plan,
Members of First Baptist and Habersham County,
Came together, and MOSAIC Arts Camp began!
MOSAIC has been a blessing for the Christian community,
Sweet memories our hearts carry in tow,
Celebrating four years of MOSAIC in only a month,
Get ready – it’s time for the show!
Premised around the heritage of Christian believers,
Works of art spreading God’s loving beams,
We study generations of the past while we create the present,
“Folk Art” is this summer camp’s theme.
As in past years, we offer artistic options,
For MOSAIC masters and budding Monet’s,
The week of MOSAIC will expand the young mind,
As scholars walk closer to God each camp day.
Pottery, singing, creative writing,
Dance, drama, guitar,
Photography, scrapbooking, sculpting and quilting,
MOSAIC’s curriculum certainly breeches far!
Though we boast valued instructors with knowledge abounding,
Understanding art of all ranges and sorts,
We still solicit the assistance of fellow believers,
We need your gifts, your trust, your support.
Enroll your passionate artist in this blessed event,
Donate to provide for a camper in need,
Commit your time as a MOSAIC mentor or helper,
FBC – we have young spirits to feed!
If you are, or have been, a MOSAIC instructor,
If you’ve decided just now to lend a helping hand,
If you’re a past, present, or future camper,
Your witness is the cause for which you stand!

MOSAIC Arts Camp 2011
For the fourth summer running, Mentoring Our Students Artistically In Christ (MOSAIC) arts camp proudly invites young artists to glorify God through imaginative innovation. A unique worship experience, MOSAIC allows children, grades 1 through 7, the opportunity to learn about and praise our Father through aesthetic creation. Hosted by First Baptist Church, the week-long day-camp event also allows local kids and their families a chance to experience the warmth and inviting spirit of FBC.
Welcoming numerous specialists from a variety of creative arenas to instruct the budding artists, MOSAIC looks forward to yet another successful year. Alongside the highly-qualified instructors and volunteers, campers can participate in pottery making, singing, creative writing, dance, drama, photography, guitar, scrap booking, sculpting and quilting. Boasting an expansive list of inventive options, the MOSAIC staff feels sure students will enjoy cultivating current artistic passions, or exploring new creative routes.
Because of an exciting partnership with The Northeast Georgian Newspaper, campers will be able to display their work and preserve their week's memories in print. Also, a stimulating FBC Sunday morning worship experience is currently in the works, providing further opportunity for students to exhibit finished products and discuss blessed MOSAIC experiences.
Featuring a Folk Art theme, this summer's camp emphasizes the relationship between cultural heritage and Christianity. The practiced, sacred traditions of Christian believers suggest that worship is part of a holy heritage, and this idea will be built upon throughout the course of MOSAIC. As campers grow and develop in understanding all types of Folk Art, deeper relationships with our Savior will also be ignited.
As the MOSAIC staff looks forward to a cherished week within the FBC and Northeast Georgia communities, they also solicit the help of those passionate about children, art, and faith. Expecting over 100 campers this 2011 year, MOSAIC would greatly benefit from additional leaders and Christian role models. Appreciating any time or talents available to offer, MOSAIC promises a week of inspiration to all campers and volunteers.
MOSAIC will take place June 20th through 24th. If you'd like to sign up a child for or if you're interested in assisting with MOSAIC, please contact Donna Trotter at 706.499.3528 or mdb@windstream.net.
