Dear Sierra Vista family, Change comes into everyone’s lives…sometimes very quickly and unexpectedly! Tim, Caitlin, and I came here 3 years ago from East Texas. We have been lovingly supported by this congregation as I served as Children’s Director, Caitlin grew into a beautiful young lady, and Tim completed training to become a Peace Officer. During our time here, we have enjoyed San Angelo and all of the friends we have made. However, we have missed out on much with our family in East Texas. We made the decision that we would be open to God’s will in our lives, as Tim applied for law enforcement positions here, as well as in East Texas. Little did we know that in the course of our 1 week “vacation”, Tim would be interviewed and offered a Police Officer position for the city of Pittsburg, Texas. After much prayer, discussion, tears, and nervous nights, we decided that although this would mean a very quick move for us, it would ultimately bring us back to our family in East Texas. So, it is with a myriad of emotions that I must resign my position as Children’s Director here at Sierra Vista. My last Sunday will be August 17th. I know this is very sudden, however they need Tim to start on August 22nd, and Caitlin will need to start school in Gilmer on the 25th. I would not have chosen to leave Sierra Vista so quickly. There is more I wanted to do and people that I will not get to hug before I go. However, God obviously has big plans for us and I know He will guide us all through this transition. I can’t tell you how much you all mean to me and how great of a support you have been to me and my family. To “my kids”…you are all such special people. I have enjoyed our time together – watching you grow as Christians and as individuals. Guiding you here at church has been a joy, and I will always cherish my memories of you. I will be back to visit, and I will let you know my new address so we can keep in touch. I love you all and will be thinking of you and praying for you as you grow into young people of faith. May God bless and keep you
all, * * * * * * * * * * WELCOME TO OUR STAFF! My husband and I arrived in San Angelo on August 5, 2005. Little did I know how many blessings would come our way as we started on this new venture in West Texas. We have been truly blessed to find such a welcoming and caring church home. Now, here it is almost three years later and I have been blessed to take on the role of Director of Discipleship. This is certainly an honor and a privilege for me. The opportunity to serve the Lord and my church family is very exciting. During the coming months I hope to have the opportunity to meet many more Sierra Vistans and to engage the Sierra Vista family in opportunities of ministry within our church. I am humbled at the prospect of serving along with you as ambassadors for Christ. I’d like to thank you all, and especially the staff of Sierra Vista, for the warm and loving welcome and for your prayers as we start this new ministry together. I look forward to the days ahead. See you along the way, Alex Dietz
