FAITH TABERNACLE, Junction City, Kan. The Mosaic group, consisting of single college aged members and young professionals, filled the day Saturday with seasonal activities and goodwill. The group started their day by placing wreaths on Fort Riley military gravesites as part of the Wreaths Across America ceremony. The group re-convened in the late afternoon for caroling at various locations in Junction City.

“We wanted to do more than our traditional caroling, which is popular with our members,” stated Ryan Reeve, group leader. Ryan and his wife Jennifer work with Matt and Rachel Arvin to plan and ensure Mosaic events are fun for all.

Ryan is also the producer of “Kings Kidz Radio,” an online bible adventure program that targets children ages 3 through 11. Kings Kidz, formed during the pandemic shutdown, posts episodes to the church website.

Reeve adds that Kings Kidz Radio became a “go to” Sunday school resource for churches across the country and remains in demand. The program utilizes local church talent to write, role play, and record the episodes. The current bible “Search and Rescue” series with Detective Clue and his team, including agents Dinah Mite and Justin Case along with Shadow, a Scottish groundhog, and Misty Rey, the always hungry racoon, concludes this month. The church Sunday school department scheduled a new series for the coming year.

Following caroling, Mosaic closed out the day with a game night held for its two dozen members. After a long day of satisfying seasonal activities, the evening included hot chocolate with a variety of homemade soups and side dishes.

The Mosaic group meets monthly for various activities, including trips to regional attractions
