We held our first “Encounter” night last Sunday and Sam/Jo Pain led us in the most beautiful time of worship and soaking in the Lord’s presence. These worship nights will happen every four weeks and will be primarily focused on worship and resting in the Lord. On Sunday March 9th we are holding our first “Activate” night, which is much more an equipping, impartation and “Activation” of spiritual gifts. For this upcoming “Activate” night, Alli Llewellyn and Phillip Mulzelburg will be sharing about Prophecy giving us some basic teaching and instruction. Then we will be finding ways to exercise the gift of prophecy and learn how to safely and wisely minister this gift. It will be hands on and very much intended to be a time of participation, setting up an environment where people can exercise gifts, ask questions, be trained and encouraged/guided. The best way I can describe our “Activate” nights is to see it as a workshop when we will provide understanding on a particular ministry gift but also the practical outworking of putting the gift into practice. This will be a safe and ordered environment to learn. Lock these nights in on your calendar and by the end of 2025 you will have been trained, equipped and empowered.

Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, Blessings Mark.

At Catalyst, we believe there is no more important question for the Christian than, “What is required for my salvation?”. The Pastors, Elders and Elders Emeritus of Catalyst Church have summarised the answer to this vital question for the sake of clarity.
