Needed: Ushers for In-Person Worship

As we begin living with Covid-19 and begin passing the offering plate we will require more Ushers. (6) per Sunday. We're looking for spirited individuals interested in volunteering for Usher duties for the 9:30 a.m. Sunday service. On the day you are assigned you need to show up at 9:00 a.m. to set things up, and all training will be provided on site. You also may be asked to assist with other services like funerals, concerts, and other church functions. 

If interested please contact Tim Higdon (Lead Usher) at tnhigman007@gmail.com or Cell phone 619-840-9671.

FUMCCV Staff Announcement

It is with sadness for us and excitement for her that we announce Jennifer Fuentecilla has resigned her position as Director of Christian Education @ FUMCCV. 

Jen has been a part of the church for almost 2 decades and will continue to hold her membership here and raise her family here, for that we are thankful. Jen has been on staff since September 2013 and during those years has served in multiple roles including Director of Children’s Ministries and Director of Christian Education. Jen has impacted so many areas of ministry these last few years; it is hard to believe that FUMCCV would be the same church it is today without her. During these years she has played a part in organizing or leading: Nursery Care, LIFE Groups, Children’s Ministry, Mexico Mission Trip, Adult Discipleship, All Love Branch Ministries, Preschool Spiritual Life Programming, Fundraising…...she has preached, taught, prayed, led, etc., etc., etc. As a staff member Jen has made a tremendous contribution to FUMCCV. She now turns her attention to a new kind of contribution in the community as she assumes the role of Education Program Coordinator for the Center for Healthier Communities at Rady Children’s Hospital.  

Jen’s last day on staff will be March 30 and we have declared Sunday April 3 as Jennifer Fuentecilla Day @ FUMCCV. All in worship services we will have a chance to thank Jen for her ministry and to hear from Jen. In addition, we will be collecting cards (perhaps filled with some type of gift) in order for you to show your thanksgiving and share words of blessing. 

We have had multiple staff changes over these last few months and that has created some challenges in fulfilling all of our planned ministries. We want you to know that Pastor Brian and the Leadership Council have put some interim measures in place so that all of our ministries can continue, we are exploring the best staff configurations going forward, and we are receiving applications for permanent positions.
