Catalina Unplugged: First Preview Worship Series
|
|
|
This fall, our Outreach and Worship Team is exploring new worship styles, times, and spaces to help Catalina UMC expand its impact with a second worship service. Our first pilot is Catalina Unplugged, a relaxed, meditative worship experience designed to welcome new people, including young adults, single adults, and the spiritually curious who are seeking a non-traditional worship service and inclusive community.
|
All are welcome Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel on Sept. 14, 21, and 28 for one-hour services centered on music, scripture, reflection, and Holy Communion. These are “beta” services—your presence and feedback are encouraged as we explore new ways to worship and connect.
|
|
Although Pastor Kelli will not be part of the 10:00 a.m. service during this preview season (Sept.–Dec.), please keep this ministry in your prayers. Invite friends and join us in this exciting new chapter at Catalina!

Why invite someone to church?
Because sometimes your “Hey, come with me Sunday” turns into:
☕ Coffee after worship
🎶 Singing along to great music
🤝 Meeting people who feel like family
It’s simple. It’s meaningful. And it starts with you.
