HAPPY EASTER!!!

We have a HUGE weekend ahead of us Clovis Leaders! So BIG that we had to get the blog out to you early!

Volunteer Sneak Peek Production! 
This Friday at 7pm, all Clovis and Fresno Volunteers will be coming together at the Clovis Campus to get a first look at this year's Easter Production show. This is a night just for you and your family (immediate family only please) to honor you and thank you for everything you do. 

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!

Childcare will not be provided because we've made this night into one for the whole family to enjoy! Also, food and refreshments will be provided after service in the lobby; it's the least we could do for the best bunch of volunteers in the whole world!  So bring the family and let's have an awesome night!

Easter Production 2013
Our productions are custom fit for your lost friends and family. That is the bottom line! This production does no good if we don't bring the lost to join us, we have a city to reach out to and it is our responsibility to get the word out. Ask yourself the question, "Who do I know that needs to hear about Jesus? Who do I know that is lost and on their way to hell?" That may seem like a hard question to ask yourself, but this life is to short to neglect those facts! 

If you have children or you're inviting someone with kids, then Kic is the place to be this weekend! They're going to have so much stuff going on even as an adult I'm thinking about checking myself in!
  • Bounce houses
  • Face painting
  • Balloon animals
  • The easter bunny
  • Candy
      And much more!

 Don't be that parent who let's their kids miss out on all the fun! Let's get the word out to everyone and let's have the best Easter ever!


Prayer Target
We have a big weekend ahead of us and we are in expectation of having a full house in both services. This week's prayer target is for EVERY SEAT FILLED. Let's all be praying and believing that every invite that went out over the last couple of weeks are coming in and that they are going to encounter something that will change their lives forever. Make sure you get to church on time this weekend after you pray this prayer target because there's going to be standing room only!

Even though there's still a few more weeks left for this month, make sure you're still keeping up on the the calendar so you don't miss any last things. Click the LINK to check it out.


VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK
FREDDIE & CRISTAL ESQUEDA!

Freddie serves on the Security Team while Cristal serves in Kic. Together they make a dynamic volunteer duo! 

Not only is Freddie one of the "cool guys" you see riding in on his Harley across the parking lot, but he's also a great team player by serving whenever he is needed, a leader in our Men's Workshop, and is also involved in our C-Groups. 

"Freddie is our Samson of the movement- besides being strong with flowing locks, he's got a strong character that will take him far!" - Jacob Justice

As an "above and beyond" volunteer, Cristal does it all! Most people don't know, but Cristal has stayed out every Wednesday night to help with the kids so that others can enjoy Word Works and Men's-what a team player! She is the bomb at recruiting new people to serve and steps in whenever she is needed. Over all she is a fantastic Volunteer! 

Thanks everyone! You're doing such an amazing job reaching out to our city!

Easter Madness

Clovis Volunteers! We are so thankful for each one of you! We know that this has been a busy season for most of you but your consistent, fiery passion to love God and reach people is absolutely inspiring! Here is a tasty blog for you to feast on today :)

VOLUNTEER T-SHIRTS
We have an awesome face-life coming to our Volunteer base to help us take our game up to a whole new level around here. And that is Volunteer t-shirts! These sharp looking shirts will help us stand out and be unified every weekend, bringing a great attraction and will help identify our leaders on our campus. The cost for your shirt is $10 (cash, check & credit accepted). Please visit the Volunteer Table this weekend to order/pay for your shirts so we can have them for Easter!

EASTER 2013
The Easter Bunny is at our doorstep Clovis leaders; this is our opportunity to reach our city! The people of Fresno and Clovis should be annoyed by our constant invites!

If you have ever been apart of our Easter services you know that they are strategically designed to reach people that are far from God. Every song, visual, and light effect are to point people to Jesus, and we want you to know that this will be a fun, safe, environment to bring your family to.

INVITE! 
Really give some thought to who you are going to invite. Who is in your "circle" (your job, school, Starbucks, etc.) that you can invite to come? If it's someone you know, really try your best to get them to go- they have the chance to be eternally impacted!

Make sure to grab some invite cards!
You can also send someone an evite from our church website [Click Here]

PRAYER TARGET
This week's prayer target is for all of our Easter Services next weekend! We are expecting great things to happen in these services so lets all come into agreement that a harvest of souls are coming in and that they would experience God who will radically change their lives forever!

MARCH MADNESS
This Saturday- Matthew Barnett! He's got a power packed message for us here in Fresno and Clovis and we are honored that he would come all the way here to help us. We know that you have been coming to a lot of church but we firmly believe that these are the moments that can change your life! With that said, we will see you this Saturday! :)

VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK

JERRY KIMBERLIN!
Jerry faithfully serves in our Kic ministry. If you looked up the definition of willingness in the dictionary there would be a picture of Jerry! He's always excited to serve whether it's in Kic, helping paint lines on the sidewalk, or staying after to set up tables for workshops. Jerry does it all! A BIG thank you Jerry from the Clovis Staff for your faithful dedication for serving God's house.

Thanks everyone, we are looking forward to a great weekend together!

March Madness: Third Quarter!

Hello Clovis Volunteers! Welcome to this week's edition of the blog, we hope you enjoy!

PRAYER TARGET
This week our Prayer Target will be for our leaders Pastors Randy and Cherie. We have the awesome privilege of having Pastors Randy and Cherie speaking into our lives and it is imperative that we are in constant prayer for them. Here are some things that you can begin to speak over their lives: 

  • Protection 
  • Strength 
  • Holy Spirit led
  • Blessed
  • Prosperous 
  • Don't grow weary in well doing
The devil would love nothing more then to knock you off of your walk with Christ and one of the tactics he uses is to try and take out the people who positively affect your life the most- so let's pray for our leaders!

Thank you for your participation!

MARCH MADNESS
We are in week 3 of March Madness and it just keeps getting better and better! This Saturday, in Clovis at 6pm, Phil Munsey will be starting the game with a message that we believe will increase our momentum for an even greater year! Sunday morning Pastor Randy is back and on fire with a word continuing the Rescued series-- hold on to your seat because this is going to be a wild ride!


AND THAT'S NOT ALL! 

This Saturday night we have Yosemite Concessions coming out selling food right after service. Part of the proceeds will go towards  our KIC Ministry! Come support KIC by feeding your face!

AND AGAIN...

C20 (18-29) is selling $1 root beer floats Sunday after service. I don't know about you but after these last couple of hot days, a root beer float doesn't sound too bad right about now!

We encourage you to double up this weekend and invite someone to both services. See you there!


C-GROUPS
If you haven't signed up for a C-Group yet we have groups being added every week and we're certain that there's a group that will fit you perfectly. This is a great resource to build relationships and create community with one another. Let's not make church just another weekend experience, but let's do life together!  

But what if I don't find a C-Group that appeals to me? 

I'm glad you asked. YOU CAN START ONE! 

If you have a great idea for a group and would like to lead it yourself we would love for you to do so. Come to the Connection Point tables in the lobby and pick up a leader application paper. 

CALENDAR LINK
Here's the LINK to this months calendar once again just in case you haven't check it out yet. There's something going on almost everyday of the week we would love to see you there!


VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK

NICK FRENCH! 
Nick serves on Andrew Segura's parking team. Nick is a faithful volunteer who takes initiative on every task.

We're MARCHING on!



March isn't just the name of the month but it's an order! This is a month of us MARCHING OUT, MARCHING OVER, and MARCHING IN! 

CALENDAR
As leaders on our campus it is vital that you stay "in the know" with things that go on within the church. First of all, we don't want you to miss out on any important events, services, workshops or classes that can build you not only as a leader at church, but also in your everyday life! Lastly we need your help to spread the word! The truth is, we can't connect with every single person that walks through the doors, and we want to make sure that as leaders you can effectively communicate everything we have to offer. If you haven't check out this months calendar just click the LINK to take a look and lets get the word out Clovis Leaders.

MARCH MADNESS

March Madness continues this Saturday night with two words- BOOM BOOM! Glen Berteau will be with us and has a word for us that you would be crazy to miss! Pastor Randy’s Sunday morning series Rescued will also continue, a message that, in my opinion, will make you want to get saved all over again!

And remember, it’s Daylight Savings Time this Sunday! We are setting our clocks forward and coming to church ON TIME!


C-Groups

Life is made up of many moments and we want to encourage you to add value to them. Our desire is that you would live your life to its fullest purpose and potential! You can’t do life alone. C-Groups are the way the people of Celebration experience true-life change through relationship and community. Whether you are growing spiritually, enjoying activities or reaching out to our community, C-Groups is your way to get connected! For more information or to find a group that fits you, check out the connection point tables in the lobby.


Volunteer Orientation 
If you're new to volunteering or haven't been apart of our volunteer orientation yet, then this Sunday immediately after service is your chance! You'll have an opportunity to meet the staff and learn the heart behind why we do what we do. Serving God's house is an awesome responsibility so we want to make sure you are equipped and ready to go!
