How your story can help change lives.

January 26, 2012 in Catalyst Church with 0 Comments

February 5th, 2012. Mark it on your calendar. Be there. Be ready to celebrate and worship during what will be the most exciting day in the short history of Catalyst Church.

On February 5th, people who have been serving tirelessly, people who have been giving everything they have, people who have been losing sleep to make Catalyst a reality, and people who have been praying that God would change lives and that His name would be made famous…YOU will be encouraged as you hear how loving God, loving people, and proving it, is changing lives.

On February 5th, people who are on the fence, people who maybe haven’t fully jumped in at Catalyst…on February 5th YOU will be beyond pumped to be a part of what God is doing in hearts, in lives, in a church, and in a community.

For any of this to happen, we need YOUR story. That’s right YOUR story. Don’t sit back and watch people share what God is doing, be a part of worshiping God through sharing what he has done. Here is what we would like you to share about, what has the ministry of Catalyst church meant to you?

By sharing your story you will encourage others who have served to make your story possible, AND you will encourage others to begin to play a part in the story of thousands of others to come.

To find out how to start sharing your story, go to www.CatalystChurch.tv/MyStory and answer a few short questions.

Good Afternoon Catalyst! Here’s what’s happening at your church this week!

THRIVE Devotionals

Today is day 9 of our 21 day THRIVE devotionals. If you have fallen behind, start over today on day 9 and finish strong.

The THRIVE devotionals can be found by going to www.CatalystChurch.tv/THRIVE

Special Service – February 5th

On February 5th we will celebrate what God has done and what God will continue to do right here at Catalyst Church. We also want this to be a day of encouragement for those who have worked so hard to make Catalyst happen. We want to share what God has done as a result of the faithful and dedicated service of so many.

Everyone has a story and we would love to hear how has God changed your life through the ministry of Catalyst Church. So we are asking you to share your story with us by going to: www.CatalystChurch.tv/MyStory.

11am Service

It is exciting to see what God is doing at Catalyst Church and to see our 9:30am service filled with guests every week!

Our 9:30am service is so full each week, though, that there are few seats left for new guests to feel comfortable, so we are asking you to consider joining us at our 11am service time. This will open more seats for guests at 9:30am and provide them with a more comfortable environment.

So this Sunday what will you do with an extra hour and a half? Will you sleep in, go to breakfast, get that extra large coffee, AND help us tear down after the 11am service?

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Community Groups

This semester at Catalyst our community groups are going to be offering an extremely practical, action-oriented, and biblically-based study on personal finances. We feel that this is a huge opportunity to help you move from just surviving to THRIVING.

Our next semester of community groups start next week. Don’t miss this opportunity to start THRIVING in the new year and sign up for a group today by going to www.CatalystChurch.tv/Groups.

Good Afternoon Catalyst! Here’s What’s Happening At Your Church This Week!

Big Night Out

Our next Big Night Out is this Friday, January 13th from 7:00 to 9:00pm. Big Night Out is a great opportunity to invest in your marriage, and meet with other couples who are seeking to honor God in and through their marriage. This month we will be focusing on seasons (the good and the bad) and how to make any season a great season for your marriage.

There is still time to sign up and join us, the cost is $15 PER COUPLE and covers the cost of the location, resources and dessert. To sign up or for more information click here.

Thrive

We are excited to be starting a new series called Thrive, this Sunday. Our desire in this new year is to help you and your family learn what it means to live with margin – in your time, in your energy, in your relationships and in your finances. We challenge you to ask yourself this question, “what would my life look like if I could go from surviving to THRIVING?”

This Sunday we will begin to equip you and challenge you to start the journey of moving from surviving to Thriving.

Community Groups

Our next semester of community groups is right around the corner. For this semester we will be offering the six week “I Was Broke. Now I’m Not.” Community Group Study. This study is an extremely practical, action-oriented, and biblically-based study which will inspire you to take charge of your finances.

To find out more information about the study and sign up for a group click here.

Living Space For Staff

We are excited to be adding an additional staff member starting next week. This person is a young college student who is passionate about children and will be an amazing asset to our children’s environments and will also help with improving connections.

As a church we are taking a huge step of faith in hiring this person as we are unable to provide income which would cover the cost of a rental. We need your help. We are looking for people who have the ability host this person in their home for approximately 2 to 3 months at a time. If you are in a place where you can provide this please email connect@catalystchurch.tv and we can provide you with more information and see if this would be a good fit.

Good Afternoon Catalyst! Here’s What’s Happening At Your Church This Week!

As you may have heard, Lorraine Nemecek’s husband unexpectedly passed away Saturday morning. Frank had been wrestling with a few health concerns for a while, but no one saw this coming. It has been a tough couple of days, but the Nemecek and Larkin families appreciate your love and your prayers. They want to thank you for being the church!

During this time, the families can only cling to the promises of God’s Word. One promise is in 2 Corinthians 5:8 –

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

While we grieve on this side of eternity, we know that Frank is in a better place and his absence hear means he is at home with the Lord. We rejoice that he is no longer in pain and that he now has a front row seat to view our Savior Jesus Christ in all of his glory and splendor.

Because Frank and Lorraine have been a part of the Catalyst from the beginning, and because Lorraine is Pastor Mike’s mother, we wanted to let the whole church know about the funeral arrangements.

Calling Hours will be from 10 – 11:30am this Thursday, January 5th with a memorial service immediately following at the Biega Funeral Home in Middletown. All are invited to a reception in East Hampton starting at 1pm, directions will be available at the memorial service.

If you are free and would like to attend the funeral of Frank Nemecek, Lorraine would love to see you!

Thank you so much for your prayers, help, and encouragement during this tough time.

For additional information click here.

Big Night Out

Big Night Out will be Friday January 13th, from 7 to 9pm. The cost is $15 PER COUPLE for the evening, which will include dessert and resources.

As we are only serving dessert we encourage you to take your spouse on a date prior to Big Night Out and then join us for time to connect with other married couples at Catalyst and to invest in your marriage.

Our last two events have sold out so don’t miss this opportunity! Sign up now by going to www.catalystchurch.tv/outreach/big-night-out/.

Vision 2012

This Sunday we will start a one week series entitled Vision 2012. This one week series will give you a glimpse of the direction Catalyst is moving over the next 12 months and how you can play a role in this movement. Clear off your calendars and join us at either 9:30 or 11am. This is one Sunday you can’t miss!

The Best Is Yet To Come!
