You are the BEST!

Thank you, Fresno leaders, for stepping up and inviting people to the special services this past weekend. A very special thank you to everyone of you that also served at one of the evening services.  Your willingness to go the extra mile allowed for God to move and for hundreds of people to make a decision for Christ.  We absolutely count it a privilege and honor to link arms with you and expand the Kingdom of God!

Ce-le-brate good times, c’mon!

The Volunteer Christmas Party is almost here! This is our way of celebrating the holidays with our favorite people—you!  It will be on the Fresno campus on Friday, December 14^th at 7 pm. Come hungry and ready to laugh; it’s going to be a party to remember. We hope you’re coming up with some great costume ideas for the most creative Santa contest with your team!  And, don’t forget to bring your designated food item.  Mark your calendars and we will see you there!

Celebrate Family & Hope for the Holidays

Time is running out! We currently have 197 children, connected to our ministry, that are in need this Christmas.  Let’s share the love of God by providing their families with the resources they need, and making this a Christmas they won’t forget! For more information, or to sponsor a child, see the Events and Outreach table.  We are also partnering with Hope for the Holidays, so you have another opportunity to give back by purchasing a toy, and dropping it off at the Events and Outreach table.  Thank you for doing your part!

Water Baptisms

 

You heard right; we are having another pool party! Water baptisms will be on January 9^th at the Clovis campus. If you, or someone you know, would like to get baptized, sign-ups will be at the connection tables this weekend.  Our water baptism services are always very powerful, and a significant experience for those getting baptized.  These people are part of our Celebration family, so we encourage you to come and celebrate with us that night.

 

Word Works and Mens return in the new year!

It’s time to bring your appetite—for the Word, and the delicious food too!  These nights are a wonderful opportunity to grow spiritually, build relationships and have a ton of fun.  They will be kicking off Wednesday, January 16^th at 7 pm.

The Volunteer of the Week is…Eddie Portillo!

 

Eddie (aka Vickie's daddy!) is a beloved and faithful leader.  He was a longtime volunteer with the parking team, braving scorching summer heat and chilly, rainy winters with a smile.  Recently, he became a wonderful addition to the usher team.  Wherever he is serving, he brings his warm, loving personality and heart to serve people.  We love you, Eddie!

We love and value each of you!  Let’s make this a great weekend!
