"Sundaes on Sunday" RECAP

Hello Clovis "OWNERS"!

We hope your week is going well so far! We want to say THANK YOU to all of you that came out to "Sundaes on Sunday" Volunteer Gathering. We had a good time, got some vision, welcomed SE volunteers to Clovis, played a game and ate some ice cream sundaes! If you missed it, you definitely missed out!! Well, we wanted to make sure everyone is caught up to speed and that we're keeping the vision in front of us, so here's a little recap:


** See ourselves correctly. Each and every one of us are a valuable part of this body/team. Regardless of what role we play, we need each other to play our part to do what God is calling us to do.

** We challenged ALL OF US to be "OWNERS" of our campus, to develop an OWNERSHIP MENTALITY. The difference between a member and an owner: members have rights, owners have responsibilities. If we all take on the mindset that it's OUR RESPONSIBILITY, as OWNERS, to make this campus the very best it can be, we will take Clovis to another level of effectiveness in winning our city!

** The 3 BIG "B's" that will make us BETTER!

1) BIG Prayers & BIG Faith
- Reach over 500 more souls in Clovis the remainder of this year!
- Declare our campus is FULL. EVERY seat FULL, EVERY classroom FULL, FULL of teenagers, etc.
- 50% Tithers & a strong healthy base of Volunteers (500 by 09/01 & 600 by 01/01/12)
- BIG, IMPACTFUL Outreaches
- SIGNS, WONDERS & MIRACLES
2) BOLD INVITATIONS
- Don't give up on anyone
- Our greatest opportunity for outreach every week is our weekend service, INVITE Unsaved!
- INVITE CARD CHALLENGE! 1 card/wk/person= 400+/wk= 1600+/mnth= 8000+ by Jan. 1st
3) BUILD COMMUNITY
- Create "small church community" within our "big church campus"
- Participate in church events/outreaches BUT don't wait for "church events" to get together
- Have BBQ's, get together, have park-days, join sports leagues with our church family, etc.
- Get new people connected to our body through community
- Enjoy life together! Acts 2:42-47 is great example of the bi-product of community.

** 3 Things this staff is promising to do for you!

1) BIG PRAYERS & BIG FAITH for your personal life! Our campus staff is determined to see God's blessing and promises manifest in your families! We will fight for you!!
2) We will fight to properly resource you to the best of our ability to ensure that you are the most effective you can be in your role or duty. Properly trained, properly equipped and properly empowered to do the work of the ministry.
3) We will make sure we HAVE FUN advancing God's Kingdom together!

** Believe in what this ministry is doing by getting involved yourself and by being great "marketers" of what we have going on. We will do better at communicating information (through this blog and other tools) and as "OWNERS" we all need to help market what we are doing to get the regular church attenders to get involved.

* Hot Items of Info:
- Back Pack Outreach (see previous video on blog posts or events & outreaches table)
- Celebration Exposed: Monthly event for new families/people. Great opportunity for newer people to meet the staff and find a place for them at our campus. Direct them to Guest Services to signup.
- WW/Men's Workshop starting on Wednesday Nights in Sept! They will be 6wk long sessions and they WILL NOT want to be missed.

Thanks again, EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU, for having passionate hearts to serve God's house and for your commitment to rally behind the vision of this campus to make great impact in our community! We love you!

I left my heart in Clovis...




                                     Floats                                         + 

  Floors =  Amazing!!!
The Clovis Staff would like to thank all of the hard working volunteers for making our campus look great our Floats and Floors event. The time we got to spend with you and the laughs we shared made all the hard work worth while so if you didn't get a chance to make it out stay tuned for your next opportunity. Jesus says that if we are faithful with the little, He will make us ruler over much. Moving chairs, cleaning closets, and waxing a floor the size of Canada, may seem insignificant, but when we do our part God can do His part. If He sees a people serious about seeing a city saved, hold on, because here they come. 

If you didn't know already, "Change" is Celebration's middle name. We are consistently looking for ways to win more people to Jesus and with that comes the responsibility to improve and change how we do things. With that being said, our South East Campus celebrated their last service this past Sunday and now will be joining us on the weekends at our Hub Campuses (Fresno and Clovis). This is going to be a huge  strength for the two campuses and for our volunteer base. Let's make sure as leaders on our campus that we welcome them with open arms and help them in this transition period. What an exciting time this is!!!

Don't let this summer go by without having some good ol' fashioned fun! We've got great events going on and we need you and your family to be apart. 

~ Men, come help us build the life of our church by coming to the fishing day this Saturday morning at Lost Lake. If you can't fish (even if your life depended on it) then maybe participating in our Men's Golf Tournament is a better option. Remember, this weekend is your last chance to signup and pay. 

~Women, you've got your annual Cards and Karaoke coming up August 25th! Check out the Women's table for more details this weekend :). 

~ Teenagers! Come out to 2SM United tonight at 6:30 at the Clovis Campus, it's gonna rock your socks off! Or flip flops, which ever you prefer.

~ Everyone! Mark your calendars for September 17th, 18th, and 19th for our once in a lifetime Conclave Conference. If you miss this you are probably going to miss Jesus when He comes back...
 
In all of these events let's make sure that we aren't just participating but that we are getting others involved as well. It's your job as leaders to bring up these events to people in conversation and help get them plugged in! 

And now for the grand finale...
