Watch Our Catalyst 2023 Recap
October 5th-7th, 2023 at Jay Peak Resort
It was an intersection of a marriage conference and romantic escape from everyday life. Falling Closer Marriage Retreat helped couples do just that — fall closer in love with each other and with God. Catalyst Church organized a weekend that won't soon be forgotten; including couples workshops, lectures, fellowship, a formal ball with a delicious dinner. We also had professional couples photos and use of the beautiful Jay Peak Resort grounds. Which included a tram ride up to the top of 4,000 feet peak. Ask anyone that was there and they will tell you it was a VERY POWERFUL weekend with their spouses and close church family.

The 2022 Season's Message: The Heart Of Christmas
At the heart of Christmas are the four themes of the Advent season: Hope, Peace, Joy & Love.
We lit a candle & opened an Advent Calendar door each week to represent these four themes. All of our Catalyst family (and their guests!) were invited to join us in person and receive a special Advent Gift each Sunday.
We invited folks to follow along with The Heart of Christmas Daily Devotional book to really get in the spirit of Christmas and focus on the things that matter most. Discover all that God has for you by getting to the heart of Christmas.
HOPE
Pastor Gilles invited Stan and Liza
and their family up front to
light the 1st candle of the
Catalyst 2022 Advent Celebration.
And as a special gift, everyone went home with a Focus Stone.

Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes - 2022
​
Lead by Sonya Reid, Catalyst Church was able to send 127 boxes, filled with God's word to children who need it most.
After a hugely successful packing party on November 13th, Catalyst Church Leaders quickly realized this was going to be a record breaking year!
Boxes were lovely stacked on the stage and prayed over before being shipped out! Then the entire church body prayed along with Pastor Gilles Gentley for the boxes life-saving mission!
Ladies of Catalyst Church on Raceway took an evening to learn how to make Christmas wreaths like the pros! We were in luck because the pros of 802 Wreaths accepted our invitation to join us for a wreath decorating workshop.
It happened Tuesday, November 1st from 6 to 8pm at Catalyst Church.
Thank you to Sarah Gentley for organizing.
A Message From Pastor Gilles Gentley

Trunk or treat; what a great thing to watch! You guys worked hard, planned, and created such amazing trunks and an event that blessed the community. We are estimating that around 100 families came to this event. You over-the-top blessed this community and I cannot thank you enough.
