    Hey Eric,

    Challenging thoughts.

    What’s the key to Mosaic organizing all that in rented facilities? Dealing with storing sets for the next week, etc. A challenge that I’m sure can be overcome but seems pretty huge when you start off in that direction.

    The Urban Poets are amazing, but I am not telling you anything you probably don’t already know. They are world renown. We used to attend Mosaic when we lived further down south before moving to Bakersfield, CA and would look forward to the Sundays that they would perform. I have a friend in NC who opened a studio (Masterpiece Studios) inspired by your program after we attended the Origins conference. Congrats on one of your own making it into the finals of SYTYCD. Phillip is a brilliant dancer and it was only time before your dancers would make it to a stage such as SYTYCD. Hopefully at some point Phillip can talk about his affiliation with Urban Poets. My prayers to the loss of his father.

    Blessings,
    Anita Peters

    Thanks for the kind words and prayer, Anita!

    David, at some of our facilities we rent storage space or we rent the entire space for the entire week. Both of these options solve the storage issue. In the other venues where we don have storage access, we have old UHaul trucks we use for storage. Every Sunday for the past 10 years, we unload and reload the truck before and after those gatherings. It is a lot of work, but there are lots of people who enjoy serving as part of the setup and takedown teams. Being mobile creates more opportunities for people to serve. This style requires leaders who can be effective recruiters & mobilizers.
