Summer Nights!

Volunteers! Are you itching to see what the buzz is all about for our upcoming Summer Nights? Starting on Wednesday, May 30th, we will be starting a series called Relentless by John Bevere that you would be crazy to miss! Click "play" below to see what's ahead!



As you can see, we are going to come out of this season stronger than ever! We believe God has strategically set this up for us as a body and you, as a leader of the house, need to make every effort to come out and be apart. Not only will we get the opportunity to bask in the rays of life changing teaching but these Summer Nights are going to be exploding with FUN! Who knows what to expect? We might have a water balloon volleyball game afterwards, or a movie night with the singles, or even get Rascal Flatts to come perform! Just kidding, you're not allowed to listen to country music as a volunteer :).

This week we are proud to announce that the Volunteer of the Week award goes to--- 

David and Darlene Garza!

What a great couple to have on our team! These two have gone far and beyond the call of duty on our campus and have shined out in front of the building; greeting everyone they come in contact with. They are consistently stepping in to fill in for people and do it willingly with a nice, big smile. Thank you David and Darlene for advancing God's Kingdom in this Valley, we wouldn't want to do this without you!

Thank you everyone for running in this race with us! We love each and every one of you and are excited about the bright future ahead! Let's go into this weekend full of expectation and enthusiasm because God never wastes an opportunity to show how awesome He is. We love you lots!

Fantastic Clovis Volunteers!

       We could spend all day beating around the bush, talking about the weather, discussing the stock-market or the latest sports highlights, but let’s get down to the nitty-gritty...

A big shout out to all of you who helped serve with us this last weekend! Thanks to all of you, we were able to see so many people give their lives to God! We are truly appreciative of  every smile, every hand shake, and every work of service that brought them to the place of receiving Christ. The cool thing is, God sees each of your commitments to volunteering. Quoting William H. Murray, “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.” In other words, when God sees your faithful commitment to serving His kingdom, His rewards are on the way! You guys are doing a great job and we are believing for the power of God to work strongly in your lives!

UPDATES:

      It’s hard to believe that this Wednesday is the last week of Men’s and Women’s Workshops, but DON'T WORRY- We have an exciting Summer coming up! 

• We will be having a special On the Wall service on May 23rd which is sure to be power packed! 

• Wednesday, May 30^th we are kicking off a new series called Relentless by John Bevere! We will be pre-selling books and workbooks this weekend if you are interested in purchasing those. 

• Coinciding with the Relentless Series on campus, we will also be having a marriage workshop! We're keeping it hot with a 4-week series called, Sex, Love, and Communication by Jimmy Evans. Sign-ups for that begin this weekend! Cost $10 per couple. 

You cannot miss out on these exciting Wednesday nights, as we come together and connect. Celebration Church is all about cultivating a strong community and coming together as a family. To help make that happen we will be kicking off these nights at 6:30pm with food for everyone! For a small price you'll be able to feed the whole family dinner and connect with others on the campus (expect some fun surprises after the services as well!). As leaders, please help us spread the word- it's going to be a great Summer together! 

      We are now proud to announce that our Volunteer of the Week is......................

Wendy Garcia!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Who doesn't love Wendy?! Wendy is a volunteer who is an encouragement to all. She is so joyful and so full of faith that she inspires everyone that she comes in contact with. She is faithful and committed to this movement and operates as a true team-player! We love you Wendy and we want to  thank you for giving it a 110% every week! 

      Thank you Clovis Volunteers for your continued dedication to building God's Kingdom. Let’s be pumped up for this upcoming weekend and come with the same excitement that you brought last weekend. Remember, faith and expectation is a lethal combination, so let’s be expecting BIG THINGS from a BIG GOD!

Faithful Leaders

faith·ful

1. Adhering firmly and devotedly, as to a person, cause, or idea; loyal.

2. Having or full of faith.

3. Worthy of trust or belief; reliable.

4. Consistent with truth or actuality: a faithful reproduction of the portrait.

      

Hey Clovis Volunteers! Let's reflect. It takes 100's of people to make a weekend service successful and you are those leaders! Your faithfulness to volunteering is a major component to people getting saved at a weekend service. Whether you are working in a Kic classroom or greeting at an entrance, each and every one of your roles play a part in people having their lives completely changed! Maybe it's the friendly "Hello!" to a new comer or the assuring smile when you are checking their kids into a classroom or even the care you take while escorting them to a comfortable seat in the sanctuary. Each and every single one of you are equally important and on behalf of those who have been saved at Celebration Church, "Thank you for serving!"

 

Updates:

 

      We are especially excited for this weekend because Damon Thompson is back and will be speaking Saturday Night as well as at our special Sunday night service! Pastor Randy truly believes that Saturday night will be a turning point for this ministry so be sure to come and be a part of what God has for Celebration Church! Invite people to come with you to our services. Utilize social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc...text, call, email, whatever it takes to get them there. Come with high faith and expectation, which is the breeding ground for miracles! 

 

       We also want to take a minute to communicate/remind everyone about 3 "core" things we do here  at Celebration Church every single month. Celebration Exposed, Discipleship, and Volunteer Orientation. We believe these 3 events can truly help us build a strong, healthy campus if we can get people to them. It's extremely important for every leader in Clovis to understand the significance & purpose of these 3 events so that you can help make them a success. 

So here it is: 

1) Celebration Exposed is all about connecting new people/families to Celebration Church! It's an opportunity for new people to meet staff, hear more about our ministry & how they can get involved. Plus we feed them a FREE lunch. 

2) Our Discipleship class is uniquely geared towards equipping new believers & laying out steps for continual growth in their relationship with God!  

3) Volunteer Orientation is all about building a strong team of volunteers! It establishes the heart behind serving & gets people involved in serving God's house. 

Here's our part:  As you make connections with people at church, (our #1 priority) help us build a strong, healthy campus by pushing these core events . We are all about people and providing opportunities to get them in the game with us. 

Here are the dates for this month: 

Celebration Exposed-May 20th 

Discipleship-May 23rd

Volunteer Orientation-May 27th

 

And finally, we would like to introduce our Volunteer of the Week!!!!!!!! You know him, you love him...

 

ANTHONY SEGURA!!!!!!

 

Anthony Segura is a 2SM volunteer who truly goes above and beyond!!! His genuine faithfulness and reliable leadership is outstanding! Anthony's heart for ministry is what drives him to push his area of ministry with passion and motivation. A true definition of a leader. We love you Anthony! Thank you so much for your faithfulness to Celebration Church!!!

 

      Once again, thank you all for your integrity and commitment to this ministry. We appreciate all of you and are believing that God is going to keep doing amazing things in each and every one of your lives!
