This past Sunday AM we had our first meeting of Catalyst. We are rewinding the Social Justice series from 2008, as we never completed that series. I spoke the first message again, this time however, I added more ideas on how being Apostolic means social justice takes on quite a significance. If you examine scripture from the Psalms, to the words Jesus spoke, actions that Jesus did, actions and behaviours of the Apostles…social justice is important; very important. In fact, I would say that when you are engaged in acts and needs of others, the “least of these”…it allows for you as an individual to connect with what the spirit of Christ is already doing in that situation. We dove into more of this, and will continue to explore the subject of Social Justice…the goal is not just to be studying, talking…..but to take it to a new dynamic.
This week, we will be speaking in the AM again, and plan for the first meet-up of Catalyst the following week.
I also announced that every 2 months to 1.5 months, we will be having Catalyst At Night gathering in the main sanctuary on Sunday evenings. This is not a break out session or service, but rather we are going to brand the evening service as Catalyst At Night. I will be speaking, and we will be adding some additional elements from Catalyst. Should be good.
