What Fun!

Clovis Volunteers! 

I feel like we could write so many thank you cards to each one of you that it would fill up an entire swimming pool! Could you imagine that? Swimming in a pool of hundreds of thank you cards, written just for you?! Besides receiving a ton of paper cuts that could be fun! In all seriousness we appreciate everyone of your individual talent and ability, and most of all your eagerness to be apart of something that's bigger than yourself. Thank you! 

The Clovis Campus was quite a stir this last Wednesday evening and if you skipped out because you were watching your favorite Soap Opera rerun, you missed out! The place was like a human bee hive, buzzing with activity and life and we want to thank all of you that came out and were apart of making that night a success. Remember we have four more opportunities to get together this month so if you're not currently signed up for our Men's and Women's Workshop, you can do so at the appropriate tables this weekend. Never have I seen the men, women, youth, and children, having so much fun together in one place, so come join the fun and invite someone with you. In other words- Don't be a fun hog! And I don't know about you, but I don't want to get to Heaven and have to tell God why I missed opportunity after opportunity to invite my friends to experience Him- let's be aggressive inviters!  

HALAL! YADHAH! --- You better have shot your hands up in praise when you read that! ----
We just wanted to give a friendly reminder to be a doer of the Word that was taught this last week. Have you told God how awesome He is today, or how thankful you are to be His? Remember what Pastor said, "Praise is the environment in which the believer experiences victory," and I don't know about you but I need some victory working in my life! Don't miss part two of Pastor's message this weekend, it's sure to change us if we will accept it and do it!

An elegant dinner, formal attire, masks of every sort and color, dancing- am I describing a Disney dream come true? No! I'm just giving you the itinerary for our Volunteer Masquerade Ball coming up on February 26th! Come be apart of this special night as we honor you and your family for all of your efforts as a volunteer. It's not everyday that you get invited to a Masquerade Ball! The cost is $25 a head, which includes your ticket and dinner so make sure to set aside some money so that you can participate. Also, please sign-up (Events and Outreach Table) as soon as you can, this will greatly help us as we continue planning out the event, thank you!

We are approaching Super Bowl weekend and it's game time- Phil Munsey is in DA HOUSE! That's right, I just said "in da house" on the blog! Sunday night, at 6pm, we have a game plan that's sure to give us the winning touchdown that will continue to give us direction and take us further than we've ever gone before. And just so you know, the Giants are going to win, just like Pastor Lance said, so there's just no use watching the game...sorry. 

SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!!!

Blog Time!

   I'm sure you've all seen it: the bratty kid who seems to get everything yet continues to fuss for more- I always wanted to punch that kid in the mouth but that's another issue all by itself. The point is, I know we could all use more, but let's first take a second to thank God for everything He's already done! Aren't you glad that God didn't let us continue on with our own plans for January; they would have been so boring in comparison to the miraculous days that He orchestrated for us! From life altering services, countless salvations, and droves of people being baptized, Celebration has absolutely encountered a touch from God. The list of miracles that have taken place in just this month alone is astronomical and I hope our hearts as leaders shout a thundering, "THANK YOU GOD!" And besides all that, the great thing about God is that with Him things continue to get better and better! Don't sink into a spiritual slumber and allow there to be a lull, push on ahead with God and experience those things that eye hasn't seen and ear hasn't heard; give way to that radical side! These are the days that will continue to live on in our memories, and it has been an absolute pleasure to live them with you :).

In other news:

If you haven't heard by now, you must be living under a rock! Beginning Wednesday, February 1st at 7pm, our Men's and Women's Workshops are back in action! The next five weeks are going to be amazing so please so don't miss out! Help us spread the word by picking up some invite cards at the Men's and Women's table and let's get them into the hands of everybody that we can possibly think of. That's your mother, sister, brother, neighbor, cashier, bus boy, waitress, and don't forget about your drive through attendant at Taco Bell.  As leaders let's get excited and stir ourselves up to make sure that these workshops are a hit! And remember, these workshops are not just limited to men and women but we have something for the whole family. For the 5th and 6th grade boys and girls we have Fight and Treasure Chest and for the 7th through 12th graders we've got our Two Groups starting. We've got something for everyone! Except for your dog fluffy, sorry.

For all new volunteers who started in December we will be having our Volunteer Orientation this Sunday following our Sunday morning service in Big Kic. Besides getting to take a picture with Mickey at Disney Land this is probably the next best thing! We want to empower you with the understanding of why we serve and give you the chance to ask any questions you may have for the Clovis Staff and our Managers. Also, I am giving you a heads up, we will be taking your picture! No need for your Sunday's best however, it's just a head shot.

Our hearts ooze with love for you all and we can't wait to see you this weekend!

Oozing with love,

Clovis Staff

Wow, what a week!

Hey Leaders! Wow, what a week!


Tuesday night: We met over 80 people who committed/recommitted their lives to God. We fed them and their families dinner, celebrated with them, and encouraged them to get plugged in to church life.

Wednesday night: We witnessed 103 people get baptized! They made an outward expression of what God has done in their lives and many of them received miracles because of their expectation. It was a night that couldn't be planned, God interrupted our service and we had an amazing time in His presence. If you weren't there you totally missed out!

Thursday: We honored a wonderful leader, Tim May, who has been promoted and went home to be with the Lord. The May's are a wonderful asset to this ministry and all though we will miss Tim deeply we know he is in our future. Deanna, Rachel, & Morgan we will continue to pray for the peace of God to guard your heart's and mind's!  Thank you to all of those who came out to be a support to the May's and honor a man of God.

Now today, Friday, We are stirring ourselves up for an awesome weekend. The message this weekend is a MUST-HEAR in order to keep First Things First. We encourage you leaders to hear this message for ourselves. Many times we can come to church and can be so focused on others (which is great) but we simply forget to hear the Word for ourselves. So let's come this weekend full of expectancy and believe for God to do all He has promised to do.

Thank YOU leaders for pouring out your time, heart, and energy into every service and event. You are the reason Celebration is thriving. We couldn't ask for better leaders! We love you all.

P.S.- Upcoming Events:

United Vibes- Saturday 5pm & Sunday 9 am- For all who are serving this weekend! (KIC do your thing)

2SM-Sunday night-6:30 pm in Clovis. Get your Jr. High & High School Kids there!!

Discipleship Class- Tuesday, Jan. 24th, 6:30 p.m. Jungle Class room. For new volunteers and those who need the tools to developing a relationship with Christ.

Love,
Clovis Campus Staff

Monday Night Service

Monday Night Service!!!

That's right Clovis, a Monday night service- tonight at 7pm! God has started this New Year off with a bang and as a staff we want to make sure that you don't miss a second of it. This last weekend has set the course for 2012 and tonight we are going to continue to receive everything that God has for us and this Movement.

So what's my job?

Our job is simple and only consists of three things:

1. Get people there!
    - Let's not be selfish and hog God all to ourselves- there are people each of us know that need to be there tonight and really what's the worst they can do- say no???

2. BIG Expectation
     - Even in Jesus' home town He couldn't do anything because the people had a lack of faith. Let's be leaders who set the temperature tonight instead of waiting for something to happen; God wants to do something huge in our city, He's just waiting for us!

3. Be Doers of the Word
     - Lastly, let's make sure to take to heart what we have learned and not let any part of this weekend slip by us. Get the CDs, download the Podcasts, go over your notes, and let's see this year be the best year yet!

We love you Clovis Volunteers! Let's see our city saved!

A New Year, A New You!

HAPPY NEW YEAR CLOVIS!!!

With a New Year ahead of us, we cannot wait to see what God has for you and your family.  Many of us  have come across a ton of obstacles this past year, but we know for this year that: HELP IS HERE, THE PATH IS CLEAR!!!  As a staff, we sincerely believe this is going to be your best year ever. 

To start this New Year right, we have an amazing, spectacular, extraordinary weekend planned, beginning with our Friday night In Gauge service with Damon Thompson. Pastor Randy has shared with the staff that he believes that God is going to give us wisdom, insight, and a right perspective to direct our upcoming year so let's make sure to hook up in faith for that word and believe it for our lives. As leaders, let's go into these services with a high expectation and help lead the charge. Remember, the people can only go as far as the leaders go so let's turn up the heat and go for it!

Lastly, thank you for making 2011 a great year. We could not have reached the people we reached, and made the impact we did without your help, and if you don't know it by now, we absolutely love each one of you and are excited to run this race together. Let's see this year be the best year we have experienced yet!

See you tomorrow at service!

Your Clovis Staff
