Music is a very important part of the life of Sierra Vista. We have a variety of musical groups of various sorts made up of all ages. These include our Sanctuary Choir, Youth Choir, two children's choirs (elementary and preschool), 3 adult handbell choirs, youth handbell choirs, and 2 children's handbell choirs. There are also seasonal groups, which meet only during special seasons. We will soon offer music classes for those who want to learn more about music and how to use your talents in worship. These groups are open to you. 

We have music opportunities for all ages.

   NOTES (AND RESTS) FROM JAN:     

 “I will praise God’s name in song and will glorify Him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord.”  
Psalm 29:30-31

Come sing in the Sanctuary Choir this Spring! We’re working on a musical drama, “Once Upon a Tree”, to be presented this Spring. There will be beautiful music and it’s not difficult! Rehearsals are 7:00 pm in the Sanctuary and child care is provided.
 

 CIRCUIT SINGERS ...
We’ll meet on Tuesday, May 13th to go to the Bronte & Robert Lee Nursing homes. Lunch will be at the Cracker Barrel in Robert Lee. We’ll leave the church at 9:15 am and return by 2:30 pm.

PRAISE TEAMS ...   

CELEBRATION RINGERS ...
 We’re going to begin on Tuesday, Sept. 4th and we’ll meet from 5:45-6:45 pm in N-4. Our bells are back and they look just like new!

Here at Sierra Vista, we love our handbells! We own a 3 octave set, however, most bell music is written for 5 octaves. So, for the past 2 years we’ve borrowed 2 extra octaves from another church. We have come to love the deep sound of the low bass bells and the beautiful melodies of the high sounding bells. Unfortunately, the time has come to return the borrowed bells. We want to purchase our own set of 4th & 5th octave handbells. We’re starting a “Handbell Fund”. If you are blessed by the handbell music in worship, you might consider donating to this fund.

SPONSOR-A-BELL
Would YOU (individuals or groups) like to buy a handbell in memory or honor of someone special? We’re trying to fill out our 4th and 5th octaves. The time has come to return the borrowed set we’ve been using. The sound of bells will be a blessing to our worship for many years to come!

BRAVO


 

Bravo!! to the Children’s Choirs for a great musical last Saturday & Sunday. Your message about listening to God, obeying God, and spreading the love of God to others was a blessing to all who came to worship. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with our church! I bet God had a great big smile on his face as He saw you sharing His message!

Ms. Jan

P.S. A huge thank you goes to the parents and productions staff for making this musical experience possible for the children. They will remember the story of Jonah for many years to come!

 

“AT THE HOP”
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who performed, cooked, served and supported the “At the Hop” sock hop last Sunday night. We had a wonderful time singing and dancing to great 50’s music! And, we raised approximately $1,000 for the Handbell Fund! How great it is not only to worship together but to enjoy being together in Christian fellowship!

Yours in Christ, Jan
