With the city’s tiers expected to peel back in the next few weeks, it is time to think about an opportunity to sign up to serve in the WINGS program.

Tasks include arranging refreshments/food for church-sponsored events and communicating with the office about arrangements. For example, potlucks (remember those?) would include receiving food, seeing that beverages are provided, and cleanup following the event. The kitchen will be under renovation over the next couple of months, so onsite food preparation will not be available during that time.

WINGS members are also responsible for arranging receptions along with the family members for memorial services. Managing the scheduling of food for families in time of need is another service. As you can understand, responsibilities vary from month to month, and most of the time, we may not know those events when choosing a month to volunteer.

If you are physically able and would like to be of service, you are invited to participate for a month with a team of four. You may select the month that best fits your schedule.

We expect to restart the program in May 2021. Please contact Kay Ragan (kragand@cox.net) or Estella in the office (estella@canyonview.org) if you have questions and to choose the month you would like to serve in. It is a great opportunity to get to know new people or recruit your friends to serve with you. Sign-ups are available now for 2021, May through December.

This is definitely a different Back to School season.  As in the past, we’ve decided to
help with Supply needs for 3 schools:

Ross, Carson, and Linda Vista Elementary Schools.

These schools are also served by our Blue Bag food Ministry. 

A list of suggestions and donation bins will be available in the Canyon View foyer soon.  For now, you can contribute pencils, pens, crayons, markers, and wide-ruled notebook paper/composition books.  Monetary donations will also be accepted.

A small storage area at each school will allow a staff member to accompany students to “shop” for their needed supplies.

Thanks in advance for your continued generosity.

Due to inclement weather conditions, we have moved the bible classes and courtyard service inside, starting Sunday, January 3rd, 2021. We will resume courtyard service when the weather permits.
SERVICE HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED. WE WILL STILL WORSHIP.

Join us for worship service in the auditorium or parking lot. You will still be able to tune in from your vehicle but we will not have visual aids at this time. Bible classes will also be held inside. Here is our schedule:

• 9:00 am Bible Classes
  • Auditorium: All ages.
  • Rooms 1 & 2: Ages 3 years to 5th grade.
  • Teen Room: With Paul & Arlene.
• 10:00 am Worship Service in the auditorium with safe distancing. Please wear your mask.
• 10:00 am Online Worship Service on our Facebook page. To see where the video will be posted Click Here.

COVID-19 Update

Dear Canyon View Family,

As many of you have heard, the US Supreme Court has recently issued a couple of rulings indicating that some of the restrictions placed on churches are not constitutional.  At Canyon View, we have worked hard to ensure that we are in compliance with the law.  That is why we are outside Sunday mornings.  However, the Elders are aware that soon the weather will not be conducive to having class and worship outdoors.  At that time, we will move worship and class indoors.  This move may happen with little or no notice.

When the move happens, we will continue to broadcast services via the FM transmitter for the drive-in service. However, our brothers and sisters in their cars will not be able to see the preacher or song leader.  As before, when we move indoors, we will wear our masks and maintain social distancing.

The Elders understand that our members have different personal health concerns, different tolerances for risk, different views on the virus, and different understandings of our call to worship.  We will continue to offer the online worship for those who are at a higher risk.

God is in control.  There have been viruses and diseases from the time before Christ.  Viruses likely spread among Christians during the first century as well.  God knew the coronavirus would come.  We believe he knew that churches would face tough decisions on how to respond.  We will continue to worship without fear—but not recklessly because the virus is real.

We constantly pray for the congregation and for wisdom.

In Christian love,

The Elders of Canyon View Church of Christ

A Back-to-School update:

Your generous donations this unusual school year have provided an abundance of learning and health-related supplies.  We’ve already made two deliveries. Both schools were overwhelmed by the outpouring of your giving.

This is a  huge “THANK YOU” to everyone in the Canyon View family who donated backpacks, school supplies and money for this very different school year.  Your generosity allowed our congregation to reach out to three learning facilities.  Beside the usual back-to-school items, we were able to provide “on request” supplies that were unique to distance learning and home visits. The staff at each site was overwhelmed by your outpouring of support.

Thank you, your church, and the retirement center for your generous donations and the purchase of the planners. We are so appreciative and gratified for having this partnership with you.  We are also very pleased to continue the Blue Bags food distribution.
As you know, this is a challenging time for schools and unfortunately we hear the negative more often than positive so having the support of the community definitely helps to keep things in perspective and makes us happy. Thank you for that!
