📣 Something LEGENDARY is coming to Clovis! 📣

CMS is excited to welcome Marquis Hill to Clovis October 5–9 for the Love Yaself More Today experience! ✨

📅 Tuesday, October 6
⏰ 6:00–7:30 PM

Being a global citizen means recognizing that our humanity is connected across borders, cultures, and differences.

To Be Love is to care about what happens beyond our own communities, to reject indifference, and to choose compassion, justice, and peace wherever people are suffering.
