Reading this = Nice list

Clovis Volunteers 

The best lookin' group around...

Just as much as Brandi is excited about the Christmas season is how much we are thankful for you- I think. That girl has a passion for the holidays like none other!

We are so thankful for your commitment to build the Kingdom of God, I truly believe that we have some of the best volunteers that any church has ever seen. We love you dearly and that's why we continue to post vision and information about our campus on this website so that you can stay in the loop and feel appreciated as a working member of the body. With that being said, here are a few hot items on the plate that we need to communicate with you:

The Volunteer Ball
As you are all aware we have a ton of great things going on at the church these days: the 99, the Star Tree program, the big production and don't forget our normal service times. So many people have given their lives to Christ already and there are so many more to come in the weeks ahead. With our schedule being as full as it is, we are going to be postponing the Volunteer Ball to the month of January or February. We really want this event to stand out and be something that everyone can be apart of so keep it on your calendar but put little arrows next to it pointing to next year :).

We will be having a big party at the conclusion of our last Production service in Clovis that we would all love for you to be apart of and it's only for volunteers. It will be taking place in our west lobby and will be a hundred times more fun than the New Year's ball drop in Times Square! Pinky promise.

The Weekend
Yesterday I went and saw a movie. I had been waiting for months to see it and the big day had finally come. So there I was, in my seat, candy in hand, and an expectation that this was going to be worth the $40 thousand dollars I paid at the door to get in. The lights went down, the plot began, and I was hooked. Then that feeling came. The feeling of, "Darn it! I have to go to the bathroom!" I tried to ride it out  but that was not an option. I speed walked out of there, ran down the hall, went to the bathroom, WASHED MY HANDS, and ran back into the theatre. I would honestly wager that I was gone for no more than 2 minutes until I was back in my seat, enjoying the movie, and chompin' on some peanut M&Ms.

That night, after the movie was over, I thought for a second about this record bathroom time. Then I thought, what if I placed as much expectation on our weekend services as I did on that silly movie- doing my very best not to miss a single second of the worship or the message, how much more would I get from God if I had this change of heart? I want to challenge you to ask yourself these questions- Am I more excited for the things of God or other things? Do I take church and the things I'm learning for granted? Do I take my sweet time getting into service or am I so full of expectation that I'm busting down the doors to get in?

Let's consider these questions and make the adjustments necessary so that God can move in a big way; in fact, let's put these things into practice THIS WEEKEND! Pastor is back and ready to deliver something hot off the press from God that is guaranteed to rock our world. You know how impact-full his messages are, so let's be on the edge of our seat expecting BIG! And remember- Matthew Barnett will be with us Sunday night and you would be a looney to miss that! If you haven't heard him before get ready to laugh and have a good time and also see the dream you have inside come alive.
