Hey, volunteers!  Welcome to a new era where we go from just maintaining to CELEBRATION!  That’s the word that Damon Thompson released this last weekend, and that’s for YOU.

You have an awesome opportunity this month to continue to be fueled with vision and excitement for what you’re doing and where we’re going as a church at the GOAL (Gathering of All Leaders) meeting.  It’s for both Fresno and Clovis campus volunteers and will be held on Saturday, October 20^th at the Clovis campus at 9:00 am.  Make sure you and your whole team are there!

The Fall Conference (November 9^th-12^th) is going to be H-U-G-E!  This event isn’t just for us, but for the unsaved also.  With the same passion and fervency that you would invite friends/family/coworkers/strangers to a Christmas or Easter production, be inviting them to the conference.  We’re believing that people’s lives will be changed, and that many are going to be saved, and by inviting them you get to be a part of that.  We’re having event t-shirts made especially for you leaders and are going to be available to pre-purchase this weekend for $10 at the Events table.  This conference is going to have plenty of volunteer opportunities, as well.  Sign-ups will be available soon.

The Volunteers of the Week this week are actually 3 people who act as one!  They are the nearly inseparable Hannah, Celest and Megan. 

 Joking aside, these faithful girls help to make a dynamic 2sm team.  They are tenacious about connecting and building relationships with the youth on campus, and regularly lend their creative talents to campus staff.  We love you girls.  Thank you for everything you do!

For this post we’re going to highlight one of the Fall Conference speakers, Kong He. Kong He pastors a church of tens of thousands in Singapore.

We love all of you.  Know that we regularly pray for you-- for your families, health, finances, and more.  We're in this with you, and believe for God's best for you.  You make a difference-- in the church, and in the Kingdom of God.  See you all this weekend!
