Our theme at Catalyst Ministries this month is HOPE!
Romans 15:13 is our prayer for you as we kick off this wonderful season of Springtime and Hope: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Isn’t it amazing to think that the God who made all of us and the earth is a God of hope? He wants to fill us to overflowing with joy and peace. This happens as we trust in him, and by the power of his spirit - the Holy Spirit!
We have this hope that is at the center of our work at Catalyst Ministries. It’s a lasting hope that residents and others can see and take hold of. The precious ones we have the honor of working with get to see that their hearts can be filled with hope and peace, often for the first time in their lives.
As we also celebrate Easter this month, we’re reminded that we serve a risen savior, one who is alive! Because he lives, all who put their trust in him, also will receive eternal life with him.
“Where O death, is your victory? Where O death, is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).
This week we say goodbye to a dear friend and faithful volunteer, Hope Brannon, who passed from this life on February 25th, 2024. Her obituary is below. It’s interesting that our theme this month is HOPE, and we know that Hope carried the joy and peace of Christ within her heart as she served with us for many years as a Volunteer Coordinator, Bloomerang specialist, Office Manager and much more. We can’t say enough about Hope’s servant heart, work ethic and devotion to her Lord, Jesus Christ. We’ll miss you dear Hope, and we praise God for your life and the eternal hope of heaven for you!
Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
We also welcome new team members this month and are delighted to share in this work with them. They each bring their own unique gifts and talents and we see it as an honor to get to know them and serve together with them!
Take a look at what’s coming up at Catalyst Ministries, and please consider joining us as a volunteer, donor or as a prayer partner.. Or all three! We also are beginning Work Days again, as the weather warms up, and we welcome you and your group to join with us one Saturday morning a month for this time.
Thank you for your investment in this ministry and in the lives of the women who are truly experiencing new hope and a new life!
Serving with you with hope and peace,
Julie
