HERE WE GO!!!

What's up Clovis Leaders!

It is your Clovis Staff again, hoping everyone is having a wonderful week so far. It's Friday, so that alone should make everyone a little bit happier :)

We have some important information that we want to empower each and every one of you with as we head into this weekend where lives will be FOREVER CHANGED by our AWESOME GOD. You know, God is always ready and willing to impact lives in a powerful way, but He is on the lookout for leaders and vessels to move THROUGH... that's US! As the leaders and volunteers of our campus, we have to see ourselves correctly. We are LEADERS! And the effectiveness of the weekend hinges on our LEADERSHIP and our ability to be READY & WILLING vessels for God to move through. In other words, we cannot sit back and wait to see what God does this weekend, we have to do our part by:

1) Being Prayed Up!
 Full of Faith and Expectation for God to do GREAT things this weekend. Remember, our FAITH is what moves God to do Signs, Wonders & Miracles.

2) Get the word out!
 Invite someone with you. The greatest opportunity to "throw out the net for salvation" happens at the end of every service. If we don't bring people, how will they experience God???

3) Create an Irresistible Environment!
As Pastor Randy says, "our service experience alone will not keep people coming back.. but it's the friendly, exciting, welcoming environment and relationships that will cause people to stick!"  So this weekend & EVERY weekend, when our feet hit the campus, it's GAME-TIME!  Let's be the most friendly, welcoming, excited volunteers these people have ever met & let's seek out people who look or feel awkward/uncomfortable and make them feel at home!

If we will do our part, God will definitely do His part!

INFORMACION IMPORTANTE: (a lil' Espanol for our Honduras Team getting ready)

Vision Night
If the Super Bowl, Disneyland, and the Olympics all came together to put on one show it would not even scratch the surface of how awesome this next Wednesday night is going to be! We are coining it Vision Night and we will be unveiling some vital "informacion" for you as volunteers, and the body. This will take the place of our GOAL meeting that we had planned so your attendance is MUY IMPORTANTE! I promise you will be bummed if you skip out on this opportunity to get some vision for where we are going- NO STAYING HOME AND EATING COCO PUFFS!!!

Celebration Exposed/Discipleship Class
As a staff, we quickly wanted to share with you two things that are ongoing at our campus that you can help us point people to. One of our main objectives at Celebration is to make people feel as cozy at our church as they are at home reading the newspaper in their slippers. One way that we do that is by inviting them to come out to our once a month new comers luncheon called Celebration Exposed. This cost free, catered lunch happens every third Sunday of the month and immediately follows the service. It's here that they can ask any questions about the church, meet the campus staff, and find out what Celebration has to offer. If you run into anyone that's new, or perhaps you bring someone for the first time, take them to the Events and Outreach table and get them signed up for it! On every third Tuesday of the month we also have a Discipleship class that we offer for anyone wanting to find out how to strengthen their relationship with Christ. It's here that they will get some practical steps on how to pray, read their Bible, what it means to be saved, etc.- a great class for anyone that recently gave their lives to Christ! Please help us reach these people during the weekends!

Baptisms
CANNON BALL!!! Baptisms are taking place on Wednesday night, March 28th! This is by far one of the best services Celebration has every other month so we just wanted to give you a heads up so that won't miss out. If you would like to be dunked and take part in the miracle of baptism, please head to Guest Services this weekend and sign up!

VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK:

JOSEPH CHAIDEZ

It is our great pleasure to announce Joseph as our Volunteer of the week! Joseph has been a shining light in our parking lot, sharing his friendly smile with everyone that he comes into contact with. As Pastor drove into the parking lot he specifically said that he loves the way Joseph does his job! He does it with such excitement and enthusiasm-that helps to create the exact environment that he wants on our campuses. Job well done Joseph! Thank you!

And thank you to EVERYONE who continually makes our campus a success every week! Thank you for loving God to the extent that you are willing to help the ones that He loves- it is an honor serving with you!
