Summer is a time for deepening friendships, service opportunities, Vacation Bible School, church fellowship events, and summer camps! While we have always treasured friendships and community, it seems that there is a deeper appreciation for the bonds of friendship within our church community following the pandemic. If you are looking for a church family, come worship with us and join us as we seek to learn, grow, and serve together.
Celebration of graduating high school seniors. CVCC provides a wonderful nurturing environment for children from birth through high school. From the Infant Dedication during the first year of a child’s life, to the Kindergarten Blessing when children start their formal education, to the celebration of graduating high school seniors, the ministers and leaders surround families with love and support. This year’s senior Sunday was celebrated on June 1.
Vacation Bible School. Each year in June, numerous adults from CVCC work together to create a wonderful experience for our children for a 4-day VBS experience with Bible lessons, memory work, outdoor activities, crafts. This year’s theme was “Trust In God: The Great Adventure.” This year’s VBS ran from June 16-19, from 9:15am through noon.
Mission Trip to Mexico. A part of the youth group tradition for over the past 30 years has been for teens (old enough to be entering 8th grade in the fall) to spend a week each summer going to an unfamiliar area and working with and for others. Over the past decade, the church has worked primarily with Amor ministries in Mexico building houses.
This year’s team of students and adults worked in Mexico during the week of June 22 through June 27.
Sunday Evening Music Events. During the summer when other major events (like camps, VBS, and mission trips) aren’t happening, CVCC gathers at the building for fellowship events like All-Sing and Ice Cream or concerts with Pepperdine’s group Won By One. Mark your calendars to join us if you are in town:
- TBD All-Sing and Ice Cream
- July 27 Won By One Concert
Summer Camps. Members of our Children’s Ministry and Youth Ministry as well as many of our adults are encouraged to participate annual youth camps in Idyllwild, CA. Teen Camp (July 6-12) is for students who have just been promoted to 8th grade through those who have recently graduated high school. King’s Kamp (July 20-26) is for students who have recently been promoted to 4th grade through those who have recently been promoted to 8th grade. These are great weeks for our young people to build friendships with peers and mentors which can last a lifetime.
Game Nights. Periodically, we host game nights at the building on Sunday evenings. It’s a great time to pull out board games and card games and gather for an evening of fun and fellowship. These events generally run about 3 hours and each person is asked to bring their own favorite game(s) and some type of snack to share.
Hiking Ministry. The Conejo Hiking Trails Ministry hikes once a month in the Ventura County area. Hikers of all levels are welcome. The location varies based on weather. Our focus is fun, faith, fitness, and friendship, to fellowship and enjoy the beautiful gift that God has given us in the wilderness areas and wildlife that surround us. We are dedicated to exploring Ventura County trails and parks, as well as surrounding areas on foot with others in our church and in our community. This ministry meets monthly on the third Saturday of each month during the academic year. During the hotter months of June, July, and August they take a break or schedule special days when the weather is cooler.
