OH MY! Mosaic's first fashion ministry event was a success! July 28 a group of style-loving students and professionals gathered on Skid Row at Union Rescue Mission, armed with their weapons of choice: sewing machines, pin cushions, tape measures.
The purpose of the event was to create a community for the many fashion-minded folks who come to Mosaic and crave a fashion outlet, and also to serve the residents of Union Rescue Mission since God created us with our talents to use them for his Kingdom! And we ushered in the Kingdom as many of us put patches on knees, Joshah tailored a suit for a young lady, Julia sewed up pockets on a pair of jeans where the owner couldn't keep his keys in it any longer, and much more.
Mosaic's Fashion Ministry has many events coming up this August, as well as a fashion show in the future. Just as Carisa envisioned this event for URM, we would love to hear your ideas as well. Come back to this site for updates!
