Catalyst News

Hello Catalyst Families and Leaders,

     Hope you are all well.  Please take note of the following:

 1) As we move toward summer, we will be beginning a new series entitled STEPS FORWARD.  Summer is a great time to grow and push forward in our faith but so often summer comes to an end and we find ourselves the exact same person as before.  There are a few things that often get in our way during this more relaxed season that can stop us from taking those little steps forward.  If we can learn how to counter these things, we can guarantee that we do not end THIS summer the same person as we are now.  Lets learn and grow together, making sure we are taking steps forward and not backward! 

2) CHANGE OF PLANS for HS Catalyst on Mother's Day, May 13th!! All students are invited to come by Dairy Queen on Stadium between 6:00-7:30 PM to hang with Alex and other leaders.  Bring your mom and get a free ice cream cone on us!!

 3)Next HS Sunday Funday is May 27th -- Trade In ~Trade Up Game at The BOX 6:00-8:00 PM Cost FREE includes game and food! Sign-ups are always helpful, register here: gracea2.org/2018TradeIn 

      For those who have never heard of this game...It's simple. Every small group will start off with a ping-pong ball.  Their task is to visit some of our church neighbors, with leaders of course, and see if they can trade their ball for anything bigger and better!  The small group that brings back the best item will get a prize!! 

    Next MS Wild Wednesday is May 30th --  BOWLING!!  6:30-8:30 PM Cost $10 includes shoes, bowling, pop, unlimited pizza and transportation! Meet at The BOX and we will travel as a group by vans to Belmark Lanes at 3530 Jackson Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. Great event to invite a friend! Register and pay here: gracea2.org/2018msbowling

 4) ***PARENT MEETING on Sunday, June 3rd for BOTH HS and MS Parents*** Please join us immediately following the 2nd service, 12:15 PM in the adult Sunday School room (by the cafe).   Appetizers will be provided and students are welcome to play / hang out in The Box where they will be supervised by adults and FED as well! Don't miss this important meeting at which Alex will share:
