God is doing a mighty work through the people of Catalyst on Sunday mornings! Over the past 4 weekends, we’ve seen 6 students pray to receive Christ.

Newspaper Shout-out
October 26, 2008
Sunday’s Record Courier includes a tiny shout-out to Catalyst for Saturday night’s family event at the125:
In the downtown area, young children flocked to costume parties at the Vineyard and Catalyst churches while families with strollers ate dinner at Ray’s Place and the Pufferbelly. School-aged students watched a movie on the 30-foot inflatable screen in Home Savings Plaza, where Main Street Kent and Kent State University sponsored the evening’s alcohol-free party. And witches and ghosts appeared on downtown buildings projected from spotlights.

Gospel of Mark
October 23, 2008
This weekend we’ll continue our teaching series through the Gospel of Mark. We want to encourage you to read through Mark 6.7-44.
The mega-theme of this portion of Scripture deals with what it means for the believer following Jesus of Nazareth. Underline what stands out to you - – what’s the cost for each follower of Jesus? What’s the gain? Is God’s Kingdom coming across as comfortable or dangerous?
Baptisms
October 21, 2008
Love these words from the very first sermon by Peter in Acts 2:
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.”
“And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins…’”
“So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”
Goosebumps, man. Wow.
And we get to join this revolution!
Be baptized as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
