to Fort
Concho
Beginning
in the late 1870s, Buffalo Soldiers consisting of two regiments of Infantry and
two regiments of cavalry were stationed at Fort Concho to protect Southwest and
Great Plains settlers. The term “Buffalo Soldier” was a compliment to the
black soldier’s courage given by his Indian foe. During our visit of this
historic fort, Paul Cook will bring to life the history of the Buffalo Soldiers
of Fort Concho. Lunch will follow (Dutch treat) at one of San Angelo’s fine
restaurants. Our bus will leave Sierra Vista at 10 a.m.

Seeking
Treasure at Sierra Vista.
I am still looking for the wonderful stories,
talents, and other opportunities that I know exist among our Sierra Vista
family. These are the outings opportunities that we treasure the most, as we get
to see our own brothers and sisters as we have never seen them. Call the church,
and if I’m not there leave a voice message. - Gary

Sierra Vista offers a variety of activities
and services for older adults:
Fun
Fest
Fun Fest is held every 1st
Tuesday of the month and consists of three hours of fun, food and fellowship.
This is an opportunity for the seniors to gather and visit, play games,
have a short devotional and enjoy a covered dish meal with the church staff.
It is a wonderful time of sharing and allows the seniors and church staff
to spend time together.
SAM's
SAM's, a monthly Adult Ministry meeting, is held every 3rd Tuesday. We offer a variety
of informative and enjoyable activities such as book reviews, visits to
local attractions such as the new Art Museum, informational talks by special
speakers and occasional out of town trips. Each meeting concludes
with a Dutch Treat lunch at a local restaurant. We occasionally have
an overnight trip for this group.
Circuit
Singers
Usually on the second Tuesday of each month, we take the Cokesbury hymnal music
on the road to Nursing Homes and Retirement communities throughout the city and
ask the residents to sing along with us. Then we head to lunch to fellowship
together.
Sunday
School
Sunday School classes are
available for men, women and couples.
Pumpkin
Patch
Our Pumpkin Patch is a favorite
activity of the Senior Adults. The youth and senior adults work together
to sell pumpkins to help with various church needs. The bus for the
Bus Ministry was purchased with a portion of these funds.
Piecemakers
The Vista Piecemakers meet
each Monday and Friday morning to quilt. Many seniors participate
in this endeavor. This group has quilted over 100 quilts and generally
has at least two quilts going at one time.
Home
Bound and Hospitalized
- Home bound and
hospitalized Seniors are visited.
- They receive
communion in their homes at Christmas, Easter and on other special
occasions..
- The congregation is
invited to send cards to our homebound seniors during special times such as
Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter.
- Our audio tape
ministry provides a tape of the weekly worship services for each homebound
Senior who wishes to receive one.
Large Print Hymnals and
Hearing Devices
Large print hymnals and
hearing devices are available at all services.
