Michael Catt

We invite you to join our Sherwood family on Tuesday, June 20, to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Michael C. Catt. Visitation will be in the Atrium from 10 am – 12:30 pm, then a Celebration Service in the Worship Center at 1:30 pm. We will livestream the service.

Sherwood Church is saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Michael C. Catt, our beloved fifth pastor who faithfully shepherded Sherwood for 31 years. Join us in prayer for the Catt family and all those who knew Michael as pastor and friend.

In addition to the personal ministry of his friendship, @MichaelCatt’s books have powerfully helped me toward a daily experience of Christ that is higher up, deeper down, and closer in. His books will be helping people long after he departs to be with the Lord!

Like so many others, I am praying for my friend - @MichaelCatt - and his family in the days ahead. Michael is a kind leader who has influenced innumerable people, including me. I am glad I came to know him decades ago, and I am grateful for his friendship. baptistpress.com/resource-libra…

@steve_dighton @drmarydighton Not dead yet!

Thank you Kevin. You’re gracious.

@deaninserra Bless you Dean

Please know that he will not be able to take many calls at this time, as he has lost a lot of his voice as a side effect of treatments. Thank you for loving our family so well. We live to make Him known, The Catt Family 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 #NoMaverickCells

We will continue to give updates as we can. If you'd like to send a card or are hoping to visit with them in person, we ask that you reach out to @ErinBethea or @HayleyCatt to work out the details.

As many of you know, Michael has been courageously battling prostate cancer for the past five years. In those five years, he has been blessed to have minimal side effects or pain, despite dozens of radiation and chemo treatments. 🧵

@vancepitman Happy Anniversary
