We are a Christ-following community that brings ourselves and
others closer to God.
Catalina is...MEANINGFUL WORSHIP!
We believe that God is worthy of our worship and praise! And we believe that worship should comfort us, encourage us, unify us, and challenge us! At Catalina we are known for our inspiring and diverse worship the image
opportunities! Click on the image above for a "highlight" video of some of our worship activities at Catalina! Feel free to forward this to others who would be interested!
Next weekend, we have two opportunities to put our "Catalina is SERVING OTHERS" from last week into practice! On Friday, March 18, we will host PB&J Sandwich Making from 4:00 to 6:30pm in E18. We will make 1000 PB&J sandwiches to take to the Casa Maria soup kitchen. You don't have to stay for the whole time. Come and go when you need to. Donations of peanut butter and jelly are appreciated! Contact Kristin for more information. On Saturday, March 19, we will prepare and serve food at Casa Maria soup kitchen.
