Join Us As We Head Downtown, Down the Street, and into our Neighborhoods!
On this once-a-year Sunday, join your Canyon Springs family for a shortened worship service before we all go out into our community to serve. We offer five different missional events during “All Hands Sunday.” Individually, as a friend group, or family, you can choose the mission team that resonates with your heart.
Please take a moment to learn about the various mission teams you can participate in on All Hands Sunday! This is an opportunity for all of us to put our gifts into action, serve, and pray for our church, community, and ministry partners in an intentional, “boots-on-the-ground” way! Don’t miss this special opportunity to be Jesus’ hands and feet to our neighbors.

Team Blessing Bags
Team Lead – Ava Cummins / Team Color – Light Blue
As of January 2024, an estimated 10,000 individuals were experiencing a season of homelessness on the streets of San Diego. Many people don’t even view our homeless population as humans. But as followers of Christ, I invite you to see those on the streets as valuable lives and show them the Love of Christ.
We can make a difference in the lives of these individuals by helping them feel seen and valued. Join us as we assemble and deliver as many as 200 “Blessing Bags.” These bags filled with essentials like toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, deodorant, sunscreen, water, and hand sanitizer can be a beacon of hope for those in need. We will deliver our bags to pre-designated areas around downtown San Diego.
Please note: Three weeks before hitting the streets we will gather to assemble the Blessing Bags. Mark your calendar for Sunday, August 18th, at 10:45 am (right after our single 9:30 am service). This assembly party will enable us to hit the ground running with all the bags on the morning of “All Hands Sunday!”
Donations Needed for Blessing Bags

‘San Diego, America’s finest city by the POWER OF PRAYER’

Team Service Day At “New Day Urban Ministries”
Team Lead – Lori Hughes / Team Color – White
New Day Ministries helps to restore lives by equipping those in need to move forward with hope. It provides physical, psychological, social, and spiritual services to the homeless, urban poor, veterans, and those recently released from prison in a safe, home-like setting where people are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Note: There is a limit to 10 participants on this team due to space restrictions at New Day.
As we know from Psalm 72:12, “He will rescue the needy person who cried for help and the oppressed person who has no one’s help.” This is not just our opportunity but our shared mission to serve and pray for those in a season of need.
We will spend the morning at the New Day Urban Ministries facility on Market Street, helping with the following:
- Sorting clothing
- Assembling food bags
- Assembling hygiene bags
- Outside yard work

Join us in a service project in our neighborhood as we work with the Scripps Ranch High School, cleaning up and clearing the Beach Volleyball courts for their upcoming season. We will pull weeds, level the ground, replace turf in areas, and enjoy our time together! We know that God created us to live in community, and this service project allows us to be blessed and to bless others. It is our joy to gather together to enhance our community.
