Staff Changes @ FUMCCV
RaeLynn Fuson, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministries has submitted her letter of resignation effective February 18, 2022. RaeLynn first came to FUMCCV as a teen in 2002 and this has been her church ever since. She began her employment on July 1, 2013 after earning a Bachelor’s Degree at Azusa Pacific University and a Master’s Degree from Baylor University. RaeLynn has given a wonderful 8.5 years as a staff member at FUMCCV and fortunately we will remain her church and church family. She has discerned that this is the time to transition to work for a local non profit focused on child abuse prevention and treatment called Home Start Inc (www.home-start.org).
During her 8.5 years RaeLynn taught hundreds of Bible Studies, led a resurgence of Summer Camp activities in our Youth Group, led mission trips in multiple states & in Mexico, mentored many teens through the Confirmation Process, provided organizational leadership for our Missions Ministry, launched the Elijah Collective Internship Program at SDSU and so much more. When RaeLynn was hired, we never imagined we would have her for 8.5 years, and we are thankful for the many blessings she has shared with us.
Sunday February 27th will be a day of celebration for RaeLynn in morning worship services and afternoon Youth Group programming. We invite all to share a card of blessing with RaeLynn on the 27th that may include a note of thanksgiving & blessing, a cash/check gift, or a gift card to enjoy locally. RaeLynn’s current responsibilities will be covered on an interim basis by existing staff and volunteers; Pastor Brian and the Leadership Team have already begun the process of staffing this important position in our church.
If you have any questions about Youth and Young Adult Ministries please contact Pastor Brian ([email protected], 619-656-2525).

Campus Security Upgrades
You might have noticed in the last couple weeks and will notice in the coming months a few upgrades to the FUMCCV campus including:
- New entry doors in multiple locations
- Privacy treatment to certain windows that will disable someone on the outside to determine who & how many are inside
- Security cameras inside and outside the building
- New security system for entry into the preschool
All of these security upgrades are made possible by the Nonprofit Security Grant Program which awarded FUMCCV $100,000. Unfortunately, we have witnessed violence in schools & religious institutions and much of this violence is purposely directed towards these types of institutions. These grants are made available by the federal government for the express purpose of making religious campuses safer. We do not have the same level of concern as black churches in the South or Jewish synagogues throughout the nation, but mainline Protestant churches have not been immune to the rise in violence and so we must do out due diligence to make security upgrades when possible.
We are indebted to Alan Hay, Chair of Trustees, for the hours and hours (literally 100’s of hours) he has spent researching, writing and managing the grant process.

Volunteers Needed: Senior Support Ministry
We are looking for volunteers interested in being a part of a Senior Support Ministry. This ministry would help seniors in our congregation by providing rides to medical appointments & picking up groceries/medications. These persons would have contact information stored on a list in the church office and shared with seniors in our church looking for this type of assistance. There will not be a regular schedule; all services will be on-call. If you are interested in being a part of the Senior Support Ministry, please contact Jen Fuentecilla at [email protected].

Volunteers Needed: Money Counting & Office Assistance
We are looking for a few people to volunteer in our office. We need money counters for a once-a-month shift, counting the Sunday offerings. This is done in pairs, so you'll never be alone! We are also looking for anyone who would like to help with administrative tasks in the office, such as answering the phones and greeting people who come in. If interested in either of these volunteer roles, please email Brian Cox at [email protected].

Become a Member of FUMCCV
The pandemic has taught us many things… one is the importance of our spiritual community that grounds us, comforts us, and guides us during difficult times in life. We know many of you are thankful for FUMCCV during these challenging times, and some of you have found FUMCCV to be your spiritual home only during these last 11 months marked by the pandemic. For those of you new to the congregation, we welcome you and are thankful that God has led you here. If there are any who would like to be members, please consider the following options.
-
You may have taken the Inquirer’s Course or Orientation 101 in the past and did not become a member at that time, but you are ready now – email Pastor Brian and let him know: [email protected].
-
You have not taken any of the in-person courses but are ready to become a member or explore becoming a member. Take the online version of Orientation 101 at the following link: https://www.fumccv.org/ministry_adulted-orientation101-online/. Once you have completed all modules Pastor Brian will be notified, and he will be in contact with you.
For those in either of these categories above, we will gather you together (virtually), record the membership ceremony, and then play it in one of the upcoming worship services. If you are not sure which, if any, of the categories you fit in above, reach out to Pastor Brian, and we will make sure to walk you through the process.
