Sign Up Below To Join A Team!
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
Would you like to contribute items to our Blessing Bags? Great! Please click on our Amazon Wish List and purchase the travel size items needed to fill 200 bags! All items will be delivered to our Ministry Lead, Ava Cummins!

Team Prayers For Our City
Team Lead – Caroline Grondin / Team Color – Grey
‘San Diego, America’s finest city by the POWER OF PRAYER’
Based on the promise in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them,” this collective prayer has the potential to transform all involved and fill us with continued hope!
Our team will be praying not only for our city but particularly for the unhoused, children living in unstable circumstances and those who are struggling with illnesses they didn’t see coming.
Below are the locations we will travel to during our All Hands Sunday!
Prayer Locations

Kearny Mesa Apts. – the Unhoused
Mount Soledad – the City
Polinsky Children’s Center – the Orphan
Kaiser Permanente – the Sick

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

Team Scripps Ranch Service Project
Team Lead – Don Hughes / Team Color – Tan
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.
