🌊 Sun, Sand, and Fellowship! Join us for a Family Beach Day! ☀️

Get ready to soak up the sun and enjoy a beautiful day by the water! We are hosting a relaxed Family Beach Day at Huntington State Beach, and we’d absolutely love for you and your loved ones to join us.

This is a totally free, completely no-pressure event. Feel free to come and go as you please throughout the day—it’s all about relaxing, connecting, and enjoying some great fellowship by the ocean.

🏖️ The Details

  • When: Saturday, May 23. I’ll be out there setting up by 8:00 AM and will be hanging out until just before sunset, so drop by whenever works for you!

  • Where: Huntington State Beach, right between guard towers 13 and 14. Just look for the blue, yellow, and grey EZ-ups!

🍔 Food & Fun

Lunch is on me! I’ll be firing up the grill to serve burgers and hot dogs, along with chips, fresh fruit, and plenty of ice-cold water.

Note: If you'd like a veggie or vegan option, just let me know ahead of time and I'll make sure you're covered! Contact me at ctroxell@cofchrist-psi.org

I'll also be bringing plenty of activities, including frisbees, a volleyball net and ball, a kite, the grill, and plenty of EZ-ups for shade. (And probably a few extra surprises I think of between now and then!)

🎒 What You Need to Bring

  • Yourself and your family!

  • Beach chairs

  • Whatever you normally pack for a day at the beach (sunscreen, towels, sand toys, etc.)

Can't wait to see you out there for a fantastic day at the beach!

Empower Your Youth to Make a Real Impact: Join Our Fast-o-Thon!

Empower Your Youth to Make a Real Impact: Join Our Fast-o-Thon!

Are you looking for a meaningful way for your youth to connect with others, build empathy, and actively make a difference in the world? We would love to invite them to participate in our upcoming Fast-o-Thon!

This unique overnight event is designed to challenge our youth, teach them about global and local needs, and give them hands-on opportunities to serve others—all while bonding with their peers.

What is the Fast-o-Thon?

During this event, participants will take on the shared challenge of fasting with the goal of lasting 24 hours. Rather than just a test of endurance, this is a purpose-driven experience. Youth are encouraged to gather pledges for their fast, with all proceeds going to Outreach International, a global charity dedicated to fighting poverty.

Through this shared experience, your child will:

  • Learn: We will dive into the realities of food insecurity, discussing what we can do to help and learning how Outreach International addresses community needs worldwide.

  • Serve: We are hosting two hands-on service projects during the event:

    • Foster Love: We will be rolling up our sleeves to assemble brand-new bicycles or skateboards, which will be donated directly to local children in foster care.

    • Color a Smile: We will be creating bright, cheerful coloring pages to be distributed to senior citizens, overseas troops, and anyone in need of a smile.

  • Bond: While fasting is a challenge, tackling it together builds incredible camaraderie! We have plenty of fun group activities planned to keep everyone engaged and supported.

  • Worship: To wrap up the experience, the youth will have a special opportunity to participate in our Sunday morning church service.

Event Logistics

  • When: Saturday, May 2 – Sunday, May 3

    • Drop-off: 12:00 PM (Noon) on Saturday

    • Pick-up: The event concludes with a celebratory potluck starting at 12:00 PM (Noon) on Sunday. Families are welcome!

  • Where: Chula Vista Church of Christ

    • 1320 Fourth Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91911
