Catalyst
We're here to spark talking in church.
Welcome to the Catalyst Group! This team offers support and adds creativity to the message development process.
How does Catalyst work?
• Like a micro-brewery where scriptures, spiritual teaching, and personal application could be tested and fermented before bringing that content before our entire community on Sunday.
o Scripture is presented, along with contextual information, and discussed by a group of people in an informal setting.
o The info and experiences we discuss will inform the speakers’ message, and add to the overall worship experience.
Sunday's Worship Experience
Sunday Dec. 9th ‘07, Wow what a wonderful discussion. I sat mesmerized by the challenge presented about relational giving. I felt my heart stretch wider knowing I could put our Lord Jesus in my giving practices during Christmas and always.
I agree we get too caught up in material giving and not giving of ourselves as Jesus did. My mind is busy trying to figure out ways of spending less and giving more of myself. Melissa and I are both still talking about this method of giving and how to accomplish that. A good stretch of our own spirit and spiritual faith.
anybody want to listen to a worship concept album
So I’ve been brewing a worship concept album now for about 2 years. Ive talked to a couple people about it and they sound enthused. Im just wondering what peoples view on it are.
Here’s what I’ve come up with so far.(in simplified form)
The album has a specific point/ message
Written by many people in the journey community
Each song hits points like messages do
Includes bits of messages, (like that video about worship a couple Sundays ago)
Each song gets thrown in to worship experience here or there to see if people like em before recording them
Unconference- Encouraging a Spiritual Experience
Unconference- October 7, 2007
Group A: Things to do to encourage a spiritual experience at The Journey
*How can we make an environment that encourages spiritual connections?
*What works for people?
1) Deeper allowed spiritual connections
a. Deeper- A 2 hour worship experience that dived deeper into the word, had communion
What if every service was like that?
Ideas: Maybe have something like this on a Saturday to foster spiritual connections on Sunday
2) Does a “Deeper” type experience overwhelm new people?
