Momentum Christian Church

FireStarter

The God of the Bible is a FireStarter. He starts movements of life-change, creativity, love, service, and compassion that spread rapidly and cannot be extinguished. The Book of Acts is a book in the Bible about the beginning of the Church not long after Jesus rose from the grave in the First Century. It is about how God’s Spirit worked through everyday people to start positive fires that spread rapidly throughout the world. Some of which are still burning today in Cleveland…

Did You Hear Our Radio Ads?

Welcome to Momentum’s website! The fact that you like our commercials* already says that you’re probably the type of sick and twisted individual who will fit in just fine here.

Check out our radio ad that’s running on WMMS and KISS…

We are “a church for people who hate going to church.” This is a great place to investigate faith, ask hard questions, laugh a lot, make some friends, and meet some authentic people who are trying to live a life of faith (but are thankful that God is full of grace throughout our journeys). No matter where you are coming from or how bad your last experience with church may have been, Mo wants to help you move forward to love God, love people, and serve the world.

Most importantly – check out a Mo Group asap. Even if it’s before you come to a Sunday service. They are the lifeblood of Momentum, and that’s where you’ll get to hang with some cool people and serve the community in some way.

Come hang with us this Sunday. Get directions here. And this week, guys who have a man-crush on LeBron James…GET IN FREE!!**

*If you are here to complain about our radio ads, please email complaints@momentumchurch.com. It might bounce back to you since it’s a fake email address. If that happens, email Chet@momentumchurch.com. Again, that may bounce back.

**FYI, there’s no cover charge at Mo. You’re too gullible….

No Mo Groups in July

Enjoy summer with your family and friends! Mark your calendars for the first week in August and check out one of the awesome Mo Groups meeting in a neighborhood near you!

High School Mo Group - RUCKUS

Calling all High School students! There now is a Mo Group for teens in grades 9 through 12 where they can hang with their own peeps.

If you have one of these angst-ridden young adults in your home, let them know about the new Mo Group, RUCKUS. Mo Groups are a great way for people of all ages to connect with each other, play games, laugh, eat food, make new friends, and discuss the Bible. (For Ruckus, dinner is provided, but childcare is not.)

So send them over to Valley View on Wednesdays at 6:30. Click for more info and directions. No need to RSVP, just show up!

Creative Ideas for Daddy-Dates (by Dan Smith)

Here are a few creative ideas for free or cheap things Dad can do with the kid-Os. Go get ‘em, fellas…

• Park in the southeast part of the parking lot at the “100th Bomb Group Restaurant” (Brookpark & Old Crayton Road) to watch airplanes take off and land. Mix it up by popping popcorn and going at night.

• Take a few rolls of pennies to an indoor mall and let your kids throw them into the fountain one penny at time. Who can throw one the highest?

• The Cleveland Zoo is free on Mondays! Take the day off…

• Go to “The Big Dipper” for good, cheap ice cream…and a game of checkers! 8602 Bancroft Ave, Cleveland; (216) 429-0440.

• Take your kids swimming in Tinker’s Creek where it crosses Dunham Road. Splash around with them in the mini-rapids and waterfalls.

• Check out a different outdoor playground: Elmwood Park in Independence; Memorial (“Castle”) Park in North Royalton; Preston’s H.O.P.E. (The Mandel JCC) in Beachwood; Brecksville Community Center.

• Go for a walk and make a collection of interesting things you find along the way – pinecones, helicopter seeds, cool rocks, etc.

• Buy a kite and see if you are smart enough to get it in the air.

• Pet stores are always fun with the kids…if you can resist the urge to expand your family.

• Sign up for the free “Baby and Me” classes at your local library for storytelling and songs.

• Create a drive-in theatre in your garage or basement with a TV, tricycles, cars, etc. Pop popcorn and throw in a VeggieTales DVD.

Impulse - New Mo Group

Not in a Mo Group yet? Free food. Lots of laughs. Purposeful discussion about God and our lives. Life is tough and dangerous. Get in a group and tackle life head on together. Live out loud. Check out our newest group, Impulse. It meets every Tuesday night at 6:30 in Garfield Heights.

Christianity 2.0

Momentum’s own Darvio Morrow wrote this article about Mo that was recently on the front page of Parcbench.com. Check it out!

Paintings

At Momentum we value creativity and love incorporating the creative arts into our Sunday mornings. Check out these paintings that were created by local artists, live, during our services at Momentum. If you watch enough Bob Ross on PBS, who knows, you might find yourself painting some cool stuff like this at Mo! Contact James if you are interested in lending your artistic talents to Momentum.

Thanks to Jason Maric, Allie Elia, and Seth Williams for creating these awesome paintings!
