I. Bishop Anderson: A Message for Members
Synopsis: Thanks to a grant from Lutheran Brotherhood, every ELCA congregation will receive the Spring 1997 MOSAIC featuring Bishop Anderson: A message for members. Children at Hope Lutheran Church in Reading, Pennsylvania help the Bishop share his message through their drawings.

II. Seek the Children
Synopsis: Hope through witness and proclamation is the ELCA's evangelism emphasis in April. In "Seek the Children," we visit House of Prayer Lutheran in the Upstate New York Synod where members are reaching young families through after school kids clubs.

III. Christ, Hope for the Church
Synopsis: The segment titled "Christ, Hope of the Church" emphasizes the 1997 ELCA theme, Alive in Our Heritage and Hope. When former Augustana College president Dr. Conrad Bergendoff reached the century mark, ELCA Secretary Lowell Almen visited him to reflect on the past and talk about the hope for the future.

IV. Feed my Sheep
Synopsis: Young women looking for career opportunities may want to watch "Feed my Sheep." This story focuses on the gifts of women and hope through justice and service. Since the ELCA's predecessor bodies first began ordaining women, women's roles in non clergy leadership positions inside and outside of the church have changed. MOSAIC visits two women in the Rocky Mountain Synod. Both work for Bethpahge Mission West, an ELCA social ministry organization.
