Chapel Connections in December
|
Catalina's final fall preview—Chapel Connections—will take place Sundays at 10:00am in the Chapel on December 7, 14, and 21, featuring an Advent sermon series titled Look for the Light. This relaxed, less formal service will follow a familiar Sunday-morning flow with prayer, music, Scripture, and a message. We’re trying this service at 10am because it’s a natural fit for families, newcomers who might be seeking a more approachable Sunday experience, and also for those already on campus for Sunday School and fellowship. Each week, we’ll have clear signage guiding worshippers either to the traditional 10am service in the Sanctuary or to Chapel Connections—as we pilot this different worship style during Advent. All are welcome!
