Turn Up the HEAT!!!

Hey Clovis Volunteers! 

Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy day to read this blog. It's very much appreciated!

We wanted to take a moment to talk a little leadership perspective.  The WHO we are, WHAT we do, WHY we do it, and the HOW we do it as leaders here at Celebration. It's so easy to slip into a routine of things and forget the true importance of what we are all about.

Who: We are LEADERS. Regardless of what role you play as a volunteer, all of us are setting the example and creating the culture that others experience at Celebration. That means we determine the impact and success at the Clovis Campus; we set the atmosphere.  We are a family of leaders who LOVE GOD WHOLEHEARTEDLY and LOVE HIS PEOPLE PASSIONATELY! In other words: We as leaders do not operate as a thermometer, we are the thermostat and we determine what people experience when they come to our Campus! 

What: We are a team of individuals that operates wholeheartedly in unity, leading and problem solving together! Each part is significant, equally called and gifted. We set the pace of the services, the tone of the environment, and the energy of the atmosphere. If a service is lacking energy, that's our que to bump up that energy. We smile, we greet, we create an environment that welcomes EVERYBODY.  The atmosphere rises and falls on our leadership! 

Why: Not only do we benefit by sowing and reaping our time, energy, and resources, but we are also able to bless others by creating an irresistible environment in which they will feel safe, secure, and comfortable. When we accomplish this, people will let their guard down and be more receptive to the message of Jesus. It's like Disneyland. People come, relax, and enjoy the exciting yet irresistible environment. The cool thing is that we create and maintain that environment!  

How: EXCELLENCE. Excellence is the way we operate at Celebration Church. What does that mean? Whatever our responsibility is within our area of ministry, we do it to the BEST of our ability.  We shake off the worries in our own life and focus on the needs of others. This positions us to allow God to work through us and NOT in spite of us. As leaders, we take ownership of our campus, fighting to protect our environment. For example, if we see a piece of trash in the lobby, we take the initiative to pick it up or if their is a spill in the KIC hallway we are the ones to clean it up!

We believe if we will truly adopt the heart, significance & spirit of our role as leaders, we will take this campus to the next level; positioning ourselves for God's increase of souls coming into His Kingdom & impacting our city like never before.

So What's Going On? 

-We've got a BIG weekend approaching. Damon Thompson will be with us Saturday night for our G42 graduation, as well as, speaking all weekend! Saturday night and Sunday morning will be completely different so Pastor is encouraging everyone to double up. We are in high anticipation for this entire weekend and we strongly encourage you to be there. Prayers will be answered and lives will be changed! 

-The day we've all been waiting for...the wedding of Andrew Nava and Charissa Hand! If you would like to attend, we would love for you to be there! The wedding starts at 5:00PM at the Clovis Campus. 

-Another thing we are passionate about is community. While we encourage everyone to attend workshops and special services, we are equally passionate about getting together outside the four walls of the church. Let's get together for a backyard BBQ for example or go to a bowling alley or take a swim in the pool! In other words, we want the relationships that are forming inside the church to be further developed beyond the four walls of the church; That's where community is truly built! 

-We need your HELP!!! We have lots of room to grow and need your input on how to get better; we also want to know more about you! Please take five minutes to COMPLETELY fill out the survey and especially question 6- this is where we grow the most! Please go to the Volunteer Table to pick up your survey!

-Have you been anticipating this moment all week? I bet you have, because at this time we would like to inform you that our VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK is ---

MIKE BOWLIN!!!

Mike has been there at the campus so much that we are considering giving him one of the rooms to live in! Mike has gone above and beyond helping us with our facilities and also on the parking team getting there early and staying late to make sure everything is ready to go for the services. He has always got a great, big smile to share with everyone that comes to our campus and is the definition of a team player. Thank you Mike for helping advance the Kingdom of God with excellence and a good heart, we truly value you! 

We love you all, see you this weekend!
