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.

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
