The holidays are here, and just like that, Christmas is upon us! Before we know it, we’ll be ringing in 2025—new beginnings, opportunities, and moments of God’s grace.
But before we turn the page, let’s pause to reflect on all God has done this November. What a month of generosity it’s been for Mosaic Church Fort Worth!
This past month, we launched The Domino Effect: Decisions That Make a Difference—a sermon series exploring how even small decisions can create ripples, transforming not just our lives but impacting our communities and future generations.
Over four weeks, we unpacked how intentional choices in giving, attending, serving, and thanking shape us into the people God calls us to be—and how these decisions can spark a movement far beyond ourselves, our community, and the campus, as we’ve seen firsthand.
While the campus slowed down for finals and the holidays, we seized the opportunity to support our incredible college students. A few of them, far from home, would have spent Thanksgiving alone—but not on our watch (Praise God)!
We hosted ENC Friendsgiving—a potluck-style dinner where students and singles came together to share a meal, connect, and celebrate community. It was a beautiful picture of God’s family in action. Seeing their gratitude for being thought of and cared for in this way reminded us how even the simplest acts of love can mirror Jesus’ heart.
Another November highlight was Live Big Sunday—a day of radical generosity.
We asked a bold question: What if, for one day, we pooled our resources to bless another organization in our community?
Our challenge? Give $99.95 (or whatever you could) to see how much we could raise in just one day—and then give it all away.
By God’s grace and your generous hearts, we raised $1,571.47 to support DASH Network, a Christ-centered organization providing care for economically disadvantaged asylum seekers in Fort Worth.
Together, we made a tangible impact on one of our community’s most vulnerable populations. While we can’t do everything, we can give them a day they’ll never forget and a gift that makes a lasting difference.
Generosity isn’t just about money. It’s also about time, wisdom, and experience.
This month, we had the privilege of investing in the next generation of church leaders through Plant Fort Worth, an organization dedicated to multiplying churches across the city.
We participated in a panel called “If Only I Had Known,” where we shared lessons from our own church planting journey with those soon to plant in the coming year.
It was an honor to encourage and guide these future planters as they prepare to answer God’s call and step into their own stories of faith.
As we transitioned into the Advent season, we closed out November with Project Christmas—a tradition of spreading joy and love to our community.
This year, we partnered again with Fort Worth ISD’s Teachers and Parent Partnership department, raising $500 to bless their team as they headed into a much-needed holiday break.
Our goal was simple: to let them know they are seen, valued, and loved for the tireless work they do every day to serve others.
Now, as we wrap up November, we’re making the final preparations and turning our focus to the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas.
Tomorrow, we’ll gather for our Candlelight Christmas Eve Service at 4:30 PM.
If you’re nearby or know someone who is, we’d love for you to invite them to join us. Visit BenbrookChristmas.com for details and come experience an evening of hope as we celebrate the birth of Jesus—the true Light of Christmas.
Sometimes, the smallest decision—like showing up—can lead to the most significant transformations, setting your life on a new course and creating ripples of positive change in your own journey and the lives of those around you.
Why not take that step and see what God might have in store?
From everyone here in Fort Worth, thank you for standing with us in prayer, generosity, and presence. Your partnership means the world to us, and we are so grateful for the way God is working through you to make disciples and build His kingdom.
We pray that your Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year are filled with God’s hope, peace, joy, and love.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
