Easter Recap, Weekend Update

Hello Clovis Leaders!!

Hope you are all having a great week. First and foremost, from our Clovis Staff & Pastor's Randy & Cherie, we wanted to give ALL of you a HUGE THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! What our Clovis Campus accomplished this last Easter weekend could not have been possible without your involvement (and God's help of course). God absolutely blew our minds as we definitely hit our goals, even exceeded them, in every possible way. If you missed the CBS47 news spot, check it out on our website :). We so appreciate you and your hard work, prayers, commitment to bring people, and everything else you guys do week in and week out to make it happen. It's an honor to serve and build God's Kingdom with this Clovis team.  Together we hit our mark and we truly believe that we will continue to make lasting impact in our community as we keep this momentum going.

It's important for us to understand that it doesn't end here with us celebrating last weekend.  Over these next few weeks many of the people that attended our Easter show and experienced Celebration for the first time, will come back for a second visit and make a decision whether they will call this their home.  It is vital that we build off this momentum and continue to make our environment and atmosphere the most exciting, energetic, friendliest place in this valley.  The way we all greeted new people and had a blast in church this last weekend was incredible..and we must put that same effort and expectation on every weekend.  Let's continue inviting people and creating an irresistible environment on our campus with aggressiveness.

On another note... Don't forget that we have a special Sunday Night Service with guest speaker, Glen Berteau.  He is a powerful man of God with a thriving church here in California and he is excited to be with us Sunday night.  Glen Berteau has had a huge impact in Pastor Randy's life and pastor is thrilled to have the opportunity to come to Celebration.  So bring the family and don't miss out!

Also, for all your growling tummies out there our Taco Vendor will be in Clovis this weekend so make sure you bring some cash!

We love you guys and will see you this weekend. Let's show up with the same enthusiasm and expectation as we did for Easter. Who's counting on you THIS WEEKEND?

THIS=LOVE has come to Clovis!

Ok guys so the countdown is on only 3 days left until THIS=LOVE. We are standing in a window of opportunity to see souls saved in this valley. As a church we are believing for 7k total this weekend. Now we need your help, time, prayers, and influence to reach this city. If we each do our part we can and will see lives changed! I was able to preview the show last night and it was life changing for me, I believe it is going to impact every person that walks through the doors.

We need to fill up our added services:
Friday night 8pm
Saturday night 7pm
Sunday morning 10 am

We believe that every family member, friend, neighbor, co-worker, and stranger you've invited is going to fill a seat. Remember, Who's counting on you? It should be our passion and desire to invite people everywhere we go. Just like we learned this weekend once we've been rescued we should turn right around and radically rescue others. We believe this weekend 7 thousand people will meet the Rescuer. So lets fill every seat this weekend and win this city!

P.S. Don't forget to wear your red shirts this weekend :)

THIS = LOVE

Hello Clovis Leaders!!!  We just got done "Taking it to the Streets" (aka Fresno State).  It was AWESOME! We passed out over a 1000 invites for Easter, gave out red bulls & had a dance party in the middle of the university (no joke, we have video to prove it so stay tuned, we'll post it soon.)

Only 9 days left until our Easter Weekend begins!!!! We have 3 services here in Clovis and we are believing for 3,300 people... thats 1,100 people each service.  Don't forget that we are adding a service on Friday night at 8pm that we normally do not have and our service time on Saturday has changed to 7pm.  To reach our goal we all have to work together to get people here so make sure you are doing your part... Remember, it's not one person doing everything, it's everybody doing something!
We have some opportunities left for you to come invite with us. I know you are all passing out invites in your own circles of influence (at least you better be lol) but we would love to have the opportunity to pass out invites together as a team, with YOU! Check our invite calendar posted below and come on out!

ATTENTION ALL HISTORY MAKERS...

A special "invite" opportunity has come up and we want you involved! This FRIDAY evening we are gathering AS MANY LEADERS from all campuses together at the Save Mart Center to participate in the World's Biggest Water Ballon Fight!  They are estimating over 6,000 people from our community to gather on 4/15 to break the world record for "biggest H2o balloon fight".  What an opportunity to participate in a community event, invite hundreds of people to church, and have a blast together making history! Here are all the details you need to participate with us:

          * Meet at Save Mart Center "Clock Tower" @ 4:30pm on Friday 4/15
          * Parking will be crazy so plan accordingly
          * Wear your red "this = love" t-shirt
          * Bring a smile and be ready to have fun! See you there!

And don't forget, Saturday 9am @ our Clovis Campus we are doing a door hanger blitz with a BBQ to follow.  It's a great opportunity to get the whole family involved and enjoy some grub together afterwards.

          * Meet at Clovis Campus @ 9am
          * Wear your red shirt, shorts, and walking shoes (it's going to be a beautiful day)
          * Bring a bag of chips or drinks to share... We are providing the hamburgers & hotdogs =)
          * BBQ will end at 12noon

We love you all and appreciate you so much.  A BIG,HUGE THANK YOU to those who attended our Clovis Leader Meeting on Sunday. Those who missed it, please touch base with your leads so you are caught up to speed.  Let's make sure we are stirred up going into this weekend, full of faith for a harvest of souls! I end with this question.... Who's counting on YOU, this weekend???

Love you!

Buckle Your Seat Belts!


Howdy Clovis Volunteers!!! (Big Hat Days got the best of us) 

This weekend's hands are full of exciting things, here's an update to keep you in the loop:

The Clovis Staff is bursting at the seams with vision for where Clovis is going so don't miss out on our Volunteer get-together this Sunday morning at 8:15 am. Now I can't be sure, but a little bird informed us that there may be some sweet, high calorie pastries involved but I guess you'll just have to show up and see for yourself =)

What an exciting mission God has put in our lap; the opportunity to reach out to our community with the best news in the world! As you can see on the top left corner of this page we have some big Easter Goals and we want to give you the opportunity to get involved. At the bottom of this paragraph there is a calendar marked with our invite hotspots; just click to enlarge the image and come along for the ride (wearing your red shirt)! 

(Click to enlarge)

As we pen this post there are still two weekends left prior to our Easter production so we must leave you with this question- 

WHO'S COUNTING ON YOU THIS WEEKEND???


We love you all!

Clovis Staff
