We LOVE Clovis Leaders!

This weekend continues with another great message from Dave Ramsey. Last week people left feeling helped and equipped, and we want to make sure you don’t miss it! Here’s a quick clip to wet your appetite:

Is our money really a big deal? Well, not only does the Bible have much to say about the subject, but check out these startling statistics as you consider that question.

·   One quarter (25%) of people surveyed say they disagree with their partner about money monthly or more.

·   Nearly one-third (29%) of respondents also report that they have argued with their partner about money in the last year.

·   Almost 2 million people over 60 are still paying off student debt.

·   “Couples with debt tend to fight more. They are more stressed about their money and some recent research that I have done even shows that debt is associated with divorce.”

·   1 out of 10 Americans carry student debt.

Not only is this series important for us to be a part of but we need to get the word out to others as well! Everyone knows somebody else that is struggling in his or her finances or is eager to learn about how to make more.

Clovis Leaders this is an opportunity for us to throw out the net! What a great opportunity to get them to church!

This is a great introduction to Celebration for someone who’s never been here, and besides, you know that we’re going to be ending right on time! Who do you know personally that you can invite to church THIS WEEKEND???

VOLUNTEER OF THE WEEK

PRISCILLA MURO!

This is one great girl! As you know, we had our Backpack Outreach last weekend and Priscilla was a huge contributor to make it happen! She was with the outreach staff countless hours preparing for a successful event; whether it was shopping for backpacks, making phone calls or doing paperwork- she had a big smile through it all! Priscilla’s heart to serve and see lives changed at Celebration and throughout the community is second to none; thank you Priscilla for always going the extra step to make a difference.

“I’m so honored to have Priscilla as a part of our Clovis team! Her passion for God and heart towards people makes us better!” – Brandi Sanders
