Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

IS CATMO A WORD?

Sure is - and it's one of these:

CATMO - Noun of Anglo Saxon origin, describing any big cooking pot. It is most frequently used of the large pot in which Australian aboriginees marinade kangaroo meat.

CATMO - Slang term for the memos attached to catscan reports, referred to within the business as catmos.

CATMO - The abbreviation I'm going to start using for Church At The Movies, instead of writing or saying the thing in full every time I refer to our church. When we used Grace Church prominently, I would make statements like, Here at Grace, etc, but shortening Church At The Movies is not that easy. Someone jokingly asked me the other day if since our children's ministry will be Kidmo, our worship service would be Catmo.

I like it.

And it's convenient.

CATMO is now an official word!
