Hi! I m Karla Faith & Arts Division At five I told my mom I was going to be an artist when I grew up. It s what I ve always done and will always do. Along the way I ve picked up a few other skills I ve been responsible for the concept, design, and in many instances, copy writing for fully integrated campaigns including multiple P.O.S. materials, print ads, web pages, email blasts, direct mail, menus, outdoor, packaging, TV, apparel, illustration and more. I ve directed agencies, photographers, internal and external designs; I ve presented to kings and queens. (not exactly, but close!) I also illustrate my own line of inspirational cards and wall art. Check my website out at www.karlatuma.com The next issues of The Mosaic are scheduled for August 15 & September 5, 2018. The deadline for submissions will be 5:00 p.m. Tuesday prior to the date of publication.

Missions Matters Royal Lane has a long history of answering God s call to love through service. Missions Matters will appear in the Mosaic on a regular basis. It will highlight our continuing commitment to missions and other matters where we reach out to the community. This will be a place where we will tell our stories and perhaps help you find what matters most to you. Request for Volunteer Stories This spring the Missions Committee began spotlighting the stories of volunteering by Royal Laners in the Mosaic and on the Royal Lane website. The stories have been interesting and inspiring and have hopefully helped some of you discover your mission. We want everyone to know the wonderful ways in which this congregation becomes the hands and feet of Christ on a daily basis. We are now in need of new stories and we hope you will tell yours. How do you share Christ s love in the community? To access the online form, use the link provided below or the QR code to obtain the volunteer story form. Forms are also available in the church office. We hope you will share your story, and in sharing it, perhaps inspire someone else to join you. If you have missed the stories already written, see the Missions bulletin board outside Family Hall or read them online at royallane.org/missions-outreach/volunteer-stories. Return forms to the church office or contact Karen Miller, 214-724-0655, or kmiller238@sbcglobal.net Link to volunteer form is found at royallane.org/missions-outreach https://tinyurl.com/ycfwdytd Wednesday Midweek Book Study Through August 29 Tim Schaefer & Sandy Washington Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation by Jennifer Harvey In this provocative book Jennifer Harvey argues for a radical shift in how justice-committed white Christians think about race. She calls for moving away from the reconciliation paradigm that currently dominates interracial relations and embracing instead a reparations paradigm. A deeply constructive, hopeful work, Dear White Christians will help readers envision new racial possibilities, including concrete examples of contemporary reparations initiatives.
