DANG!

If you missed worship at Catalyst this morning, you missed a tremendous worship set!

The band absolutely tore it up introducing a new Lee McDerment song, We Stand.  With all the tricky guitar riffs and drum shots, people were spontaneously applauding at the end!  It’ll most likely be in heavy rotation at Catalyst this Easter season.

Brian Otte, the very first lead worshiper for Catalyst from back in the living room days, popped in to worship with us this morning.  He shares a bit on his experience today here.

ABC’s Nightline

March 25, 2009

Catalyst is part of the Acts 29 Network, founded in part by Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church, Seattle.

n23310547_2438Mark will be debating, among others, Deepak Chopra this Thursday night on a special edition of ABC’s Nightline.

Be praying for this program’s editing – that Jesus would be magnified and that this nationally-televised debate would become a bridge-builder for us at Catalyst as we seek to engage our friends and family with the Gospel.

Easter 2009

You’re Invited this Easter season…

REFLECTING ON THE RESCUER
2,000 years ago, Jesus of Nazareth was arrested, beaten, mocked, tortured, and murdered by trained professionals of Rome.

2,000 years later, Christ followers pause on the Friday night before Easter to remember their Rescuer.

This Good Friday (April 10th), you are invited to join the community of Catalyst for a special, low-key evening focused on Christ and the Cross.

Through intimate worship, engaging teaching, communion, and personal reflection, we will retrace and remember what was accomplished for us when God died in our place as a ransom for our lives.  More on Facebook…

EASTER SUNDAY AT THE MOVIES
This year, try something different.

You’re invited to church at the Regal Cinemas on the Stow/Hudson border as Catalyst celebrates the historical reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

  • live band with modern music
  • engaging kids’ environments
  • relevant teaching
  • creative and authentic atmosphere

No one will put you on the spot. You’ll simply experience authentic acceptance in a laid-back atmosphere.  Easter Sunday, April 12th at 10:30.  More at CatalystChurch.com…

Great morning at Catalyst today as we journeyed through Colossians 3 together.
For the 2nd week in a row, we had a record number of toddlers bee-bopping along in Catalyst KIDS – - kudos to the childrens’ workers!
