Sign up for Summer Retreat, 15 spots left.

Hey All:
August 7-9 (next weekend), Catalyst will be having its annual summer retreat. This is a great opportunity to build community and it promises to be an amazing time with the Lord.

We have designed the retreat so that you won't have to take any time off to be a part of it (it starts late Friday night) and it ends late Sunday morning.

The cost of the retreat is $100. But we don't want money to be an issue. After making an announcement to the community, several people have donated money for scholarships. So, if you need help paying or need a full scholarship that money is available.

So if you would like to come, just reply to this e-mail and we will get you signed up.

I look forward to what God will do,

Ron C.

Catalyst Update

Dear Peeps:
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I just read today's headline for the Chicago Tribune: "July with No Summer." No kidding. Where is the heat and sun? Hopefully, August has some summer in store for us. It would be nice to have just one week of heat.

Anyways, I digress :). This Thursday at Catalyst (7pm in the garage), we have "God-Stretch" leading our time of worship. They are simply one of the most amazing worship bands in the Chicago area and you won't want to miss it.

Since they will be there, we will have a longer time of worship, and then a teaching from Pastor Charlie. This week, we look at how the Holy Spirit empowers us for service. This service will be really special and interactive. We expect God to do amazing things. I hope you can make it.

And as always, please invite your friends.

Childcare is provided.

We will also be having "Aftermath" at 8:45pm in the garage. "God-Stretch" will be performing there as well, and I think it will be a blast. This is a great way to build community and have some fun. I hope you can stick around.

I will be praying,

Ron C
