Hey Fresno Campus, Here is what is coming your way!

“The Chair” airs again this weekend with all new stories! Invite your friends and neighbors, heck invite your Enemies, invite complete strangers and any Family that you are believing to be saved. These weekends are for the lost but don’t think that they are not for you as well.  These videos are life changing because they are spirit breathed and inspired! So weather you have been here at celebration for years or you are just starting to serve, this Chair Series will change your life. Again get out and help us impact a community for Christ.

Wednesday nights are revved up with on the wall prayer. The DNA of who we are is a prayer culture. The amazing thing about this is that these Wednesday prayer nights will be held right here on the Fresno Campus. This gives us the ability to go to battle for our own territory, at our own campus. Make sure you are here for these powerful nights of worship and prayer. Feel the power of God changing this valley through the word of God we release from OUR mouths. So come out ready to use your voice, weather you are praying in the spirit, coming up and praying over a prayer target or just sending out the prayer of agreement to what is being prayed in an intercessory prayer!

This was a recent email from Pastor in regards to the chair:

Dear Friends,

The greatest opportunity to win your family and friends is going to take place over the next two weekends with our Chair Series.  These are real stories, from real people who were touched by a real God. These are people ,who like you, sit in a chair every weekend. These life changing testimonies are told directly from those affected. I am asking you to partner with Cherie and I by bringing new people to church. I believe that if you get behind this effort, we will see God move in a mighty way.  Cherie and I are expecting for God to bring many to salvation.  If you and I will do our part to get the people here, I know that the Spirit of God will do His part to open their hearts to Jesus Christ.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Pastor Randy

Fresno, here we come!


Fresno Leaders! Owners! What's up!

The Fresno Staff is ecstatic about running with you every week. And I'm not talking about the kind of running your hairy P.E. teacher made you do in middle school, I'm referring to the awesome effort each of you are putting in to advancing the kingdom of God. Keep doin' what your doin'! It's working! We may not see every bit of sacrifice and hard work you put in, but God certainly does. The Bible says that God will not be mocked, whatever a man sows, that is what he will reap. We are excited to see an awesome harvest reaped in your life :).

Below are a few updates to keep you informed and pumped about what's going on- Bon Appetite!



Beautiful September is almost complete, but the party isn't quite over yet! Here are a few events to participate in:

• Rummage Sale
New Fresno Campus
Saturday, September 24th, 7am-12pm
Come out and buy people's..........stuff, to help raise money for our new building!

• Invite Challenge
Fresno Campus
Thursday, September 29th, 6:30pm
Let's see our city saved! So many just in our neighborhood are lost and hurting- you can be the one to change that...

• FSU vs. BSU Game/Tailgate
Fresno State Stadium
Friday, October 7th, 5pm (ok, technically not in September)
$25 per person (food and ticket)
This is an event for the whole family! Come support our Fresno State Bulldogs and hangout with the coolest people in town! (Celebration folks of course)



Wednesday Nights have about as much ZING and POW as the old school Batman series, so if you've been missing the action don't worry, you can still tune in. We've got three more sessions left of our Workshops that you can join in on and I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything, but rumor has it that our next Men's workshop will be one of our best ones yet- and that's saying a lot!



There are just some things in life you don't miss. Like your child being born, or a job interview, or how about your first high school date with Toddy the Hotty??? Well this coming Friday night prayer service with Damon Thompson (September 30th) is a service you don't miss. It's that simple. Your bowl of cereal and T.V. will be waiting for you when you get home I promise, but it's imperative that you don't miss your moment! Pastor always says that life is made of moments and this is a weekend that we are crossing a finish line. We are stepping into a new season and we want you there for it. Even if you are scheduled to serve don't let that keep you from releasing faith- these promises are for you, just as much as they are for the rest of the congregation. Let's have some BIG faith for this BIG, BIG weekend!



Join the fun of our Invite Challenge. Nothing on earth is more satisfying than seeing people come to Jesus Christ and you can be a part of the army of people saturating our city with invitations. Gas stations, restaurants, soccer practice, the office- all places that you can slip an invite card into the hand of an unsuspecting bystander or friend. Not so that they can experience a church, but so that they can experience a real, tangible relationship with the God that created them...that's what it's all about.



We are so glad you took the time to read this blog and stay updated with your Fresno Campus. However, there is one last step we would like you to take. When you have a chunk of time (30-40 min.) please do yourself a favor and listen to Matthew Barnett's message called, "Finding the Cause Within You." This powerful message will fuel an empty soul and cause the dreams you have to come to life. Our staff was rocked the day we listened to this and we want to share it with you. So here's the link- Bon Appetite!

Finding the Cause Within You (number 10)



Sincerely,

Fresno Staff

Exciting Week!

Wow this has been an awesome week! After hearing pastors message on, “Exhausted but Still in Pursuit,” last weekend, we know that we are right where God needs us to be…..in Pursuit! Then Wednesday he took it even further and showed us that we have to have space to be in pursuit. The word and worship have been extremely powerful, so if you haven’t been coming to our Wednesday night services, you should.


With this season of growth there are shifts that need to be made to strengthen our two hubs. Pastor is pulling in the resources of southeast to strengthen the Fresno and Clovis Campuses. It is necessary to have all hands on deck in order to win at the mission at hand. That also means we will need to make room for additional volunteers as they will be transitioning to our campus. Make sure you are here this weekend as Pastor lays out a game plan with more details for the next phase that celebration is moving into. God is steering the ship and it is an amazing time to be a part of Gods plan for this valley.

Last thing if you are reading this tonight then make sure you click on over to the celebration web site and sign your kids up for Face time. Were offering a special price for online registration: $30 per child, if you sign up tonight! This could be where your child receives the calling for the rest of their life! We hope to see your kids there.
