Hey volunteers in case you haven't heard yet, we thought we would let you in on a little secret.......it's raining!!

Hey so we are having a fundraising dinner for the upcoming trip to the Philippines. You may not know this but celebration church used to go to the Philippines once a year. Since the start of this paid and full campaign however we have been pouring all of our finances and time into making that building a reality. God told pastor long ago however, that if we made it happen over there He would make it happen here. So we are going! This is your chance to take part in what God is doing in that nation. The Philippines benefit dinner is happening on August 10th and tickets are ready for you to purchase out at the events and outreach table in the lobby. There will be music and production elements to show a little of what we are doing while we are in the Philippines. There will also be a silent auction and raffle prizes throughout the evening and all proceeds will be put towards supporting the team going to the Philippines. If you would like to know any other ways you can get involved connect with staff this weekend and find out!

Backpack outreach
If you are looking to get involved here at home then check out the back to school backpack outreach on august 19th. We are going to impact our community on a larger scale this year because we have been seeing rain! Rain in our lives means more opportunity to impact others. We will be holding this years backpack outreach at Manchester mall on Blackstone and Shields. We have plenty of room so make sure you invite people who don't serve to come out and lend a hand. This is a great opportunity to show someone the joys of serving. We are believing to collect over a thousand backpacks this year and we have plenty more to go. We have drop-off bins at all GB3 locations as well so tell all your friends and neighbors they can get involved as well. We also have lists of supplies at the table out in the lobby so don't miss out.

Last,
Don't forget to get the word out about this weekend! Pastor is starting his new series called "Winning." This new series is the key to you walking in the victory that God already made available. Don't miss out on your guarantee to winning. Also this weekend bring someone with you and watch as the rain changes their life too. Glenn Berteau is going to be "fired up and ready to go" this Sunday night, so be there and be expecting.
