CANYON VIEW’S “BACK-TO-SCHOOL” Outreach

AS IN THE PAST, WE’VE DECIDED TO HELP 3 SCHOOLS:  ROSS, CARSON AND LINDA VISTA ELEMENTARY.  THESE SCHOOLS ARE ALSO SERVED BY OUR “BLUE BAG” MINISTRY.

A LIST OF SUGGESTIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE CANYON VIEW FOYER AND ON-LINE.

YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE PENCILS, PENS, CRAYONS, MARKERS, BACKPACKS, AND WIDE-RULED NOTEBOOK PAPER/COMPOSITION BOOKS. COLLECTION BINS WILL BE IN THE FOYER.

ALSO, MONETARY DONATIONS ARE APPRECIATED. WE LOVE TO SHOP THE BARGAINS.

THANKS, IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR CONTINUED GENEROSITY.

After an unexpected “time-out” due to COVID restrictions, we are again asking for contributions of swimsuits, towels, and flip-flops. These donations are for the children learning to swim at the Jackie Robinson YMCA.  

In October ‘21, we attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the newly-funded swim complex.  Historically, this area of San Diego has been underserved with regard to aquatic activities and opportunities. This is a community resource long overdue. Often swimmers had to be transported to pools in other areas of San Diego for lessons. 

Here is a link to an article about the pool opening for the Jackie Robinson Family YMCA

Canyon View has been so generous in past years by providing needed support for children and teens learning to swim.  

Beginning on May 29, please drop off any of the three items: suits, flip-flops any/or towels in bins in the foyer. 

All sizes of swimsuits are needed: for ages 4-16, male and female.

On June 24, we plan to attend the ribbon-cutting/grand opening ceremony of this much anticipated aquatic center. We hope to deliver a full car-load of items for the Learn-to-Swim program 2022.

If you would like to participate by giving but would prefer we shop for you, we enjoy that opportunity and will be good stewards of you donations.

Thank you, in advance, for your interest in this outreach effort.

Bob and Carol Simonson

The Youth Rally is coming up! On February 18-20, there will be a youth rally at the Bostonia Church of Christ. Since it is local, here in San Diego, it will not be an overnight event, but it will be a multiple-day event (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). The theme of the youth rally is “Be an Example,” and we will focus on studying 1 Timothy 4:12. This is a junior high through high school event. There will be several lessons, all from 1 Timothy 4:12. This rally will take place at the Bostonia Church of Christ.

The address is: 1244 Sumner Ave, El Cajon, CA, 92021.

I want to encourage all of you parents to get your children to this event. It will be a wonderful, spiritually uplifting event. Also, please ask your kids to invite family, friends, or anyone they see. Our youth need this, so let’s be sure to make it to this event. Thank you all for all you do!

Our new, beautiful kitchen is almost ready for all of us to use! However, there are several items we need to replenish in order to make the kitchen complete. We have set up a special registry on Amazon with the items we need. If you are interested in purchasing an item to donate to the church, you can click on this link: https://www.amazon.com/registries/custom/9HOTNJ5MNXLH/guest-view. Remember to use AmazonSmile to earn funds for Canyon View at no charge to you. Follow the instructions when you go to amazonsmile.com and make Canyon View Church of Christ your charity.

Canyon View members contributed generously to three elementary schools this Spring when schools slowly began to open for in-person instruction. The school district plans on reopening these schools fully in late August with strong safety measures in place. 

Currently, several stores like Target, WalMart and Staples are already promoting the sale of items needed for school. Beginning on July 25  the plastic boxes will again be in the foyer for any school supplies you may donate.  

Shopping with your own children/grandchildren can be a great way to introduce them to outreach giving and the awareness that not all families have the needed resources to provide supplies for their children.

We would be glad to shop for anyone who wishes to help with monetary donations given to Canyon View.

Your continuing generosity is appreciated.

Patti Rolla and Carol Simonson
