What's up Clovis Leaders!?
I hope everyone is having an awesome week. If you didn't make it out to the pool party on Wednesday night you totally missed out on a powerful night, we baptized 66 people in water! It's always amazing to celebrate with those that are making that outward confession of what God is doing in their lives and drowning old things at the bottom of the pool! You know leaders, thats what it's all about! That's why we do what we do every weekend...that's why we serve, that's why we give, that's why we rally behind the vision of this ministry and campus...to be a part of impacting a city and seeing people experience the reality of God's love.
I want to encourage you today, as we enter into this weekend to keep that perspective. Don't ever allow your service (volunteering) to become a mechanical duty. It's an absolute honor to serve God's house and the whole reason we do is so that others can have their lives forever impacted by God! Think about it, if it weren't for you, who would greet them with a smile? Who would serve them that cup of coffee that woke them up to hear God's Word? Who would minister to their children so that they're not distracted in service? Who would find them a good seat? Who would keep the environment safe? Who would lead them in worship? Who would just love them and be available to pray with them? I could go on and on... The point is, everything we do on these weekends plays a vital role in reaching and saving the lost whether you realize it or not! So first of all, thank you for making it possible, and secondly, make sure we stir ourselves up this weekend and know that we get to help play a role in the salvation of others! There are people right now as I type that are on their way to spending eternity in hell BUT this weekend they will attend service and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior!! That's AWESOME!!!
So my closing thoughts to you are...
1) Who do you need to invite this weekend?
2) When they get there, let's ALL help create the friendliest, energetic, most irresistible environment that they have ever encountered!!
We love you guys so much and it's an honor to be a part of a family, a team that is building God's Kingdom and making an eternal impact in this community! Praying for God's best in your lives this week.
Let's be in expectation for a packed house this weekend...see you at church! :)
Lance and Clovis Staff
