We are less than a month from our community Winter Wonderland! Canyon View has hosted this event for over ten years, and we love to see such a great community gathering. We have guests and visitors who can’t wait to sled on a fresh snow hill, enjoy hot chocolate and cookies, and take in the wonder of the nativity story-paired with live animals for the kiddos to pet! Come join on December 9th from 5-7PM.

Thank you for your care and continuing generosity, which has provided a bounty of supplies for three nearby schools. This outreach opportunity is such a blessing for students.
We plan to deliver school supply contributions to Carson, Linda Vista and Ross Elementary Schoolsaround August 20th. These three schools will be reopening on an earlier date this year. (These are the same 3 schools whose families receive the generous Blue Bags of food you provide.)
The bin for collecting supplies and lists of suggested donations will be in the Canyon View foyer from August 1-18. This leaves just a few weeks to collect supplies.
Stores are offering back-to-school sales and promos now. If you would rather we shop for you, let us know by contributing cash or a check made out to Canyon View with “back to school” on the memo line.
Thank you for your continuing support of this annual community outreach. Your generous giving provides young students with essential supplies.

Summertime Outreach Opportunity
The Jackie Robinson YMCA
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. Canyon View has been so generous in past years by providing needed support for children and teens.
Beginning on Sunday, June 18, 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 2T-16, male and female.
(Also, gently used adult swimsuits would help those parents who need to be in the pool with their children and May not have appropriate swimming attire.)
If you would like to participate by contributing money, we can shop for you.
We enjoy that opportunity and will be good stewards of your donations.
Thank you, in advance, for your interest in this continuing outreach effort.

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

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.

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!
