Vacation Bible School Update

At VBS, “the wave of God’s amazing love” was everywhere at Sierra Vista

this year! From June 6 through 9, our church campus was overflowing with

excitement, fellowship, and Bible stories!

Here are some basic stats about VBS, 2016:

200 participating children

46 youth volunteers

68 adult volunteers

$1,052.62 raised by the kids in the Penny Push for the Children’s Bed Project of San Angelo.

No where was God more apparent during VBS than in the hands, actions, and hearts of the over 100

members of the youth and adult servant teams. They offered their energy, sacrificed time from their own

busy schedules, and gave these children experiences that will have life-long impact. What a remarkable

witness each of them is!

Thank you, also, to the entire congregation of Sierra Vista for supporting this important and vital ministry

to the children of this community!

SVUMC Loves Roy Moon—

and Pot Luck Dinners

Roy Moon, Sierra Vista’s resident technology wiz-

ard, is distancing himself from the sound booth. He

and Cathye are soon to become grandparents and

need to be foot loose and fancy free to enjoy their

family. While Roy will continue to work on special

projects, he will no longer be manning the sound

booth every Saturday and Sunday.

To celebrate his selfless service and his many contri-

butions to the life of Sierra Vista, there will be a pot

luck dinner on Saturday, July 16th in the Life Center. It will begin at the conclusion

of the Saturday night service which is at about 6:30 p.m.

All are welcome. Bring your favorite dish.

There will be no videos, slide shows or music,

so Roy can actually sit down!

“Roy, you’ve just retired from the sound board.”

What are you going to do now?

“Change my phone number!”

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour

forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. ~ Psalm 19:1-2

I got up early this morning to take, Gracie, my Rottweiler-mix, for a walk. Today I decided not to

put my ear buds in to listen to music or scripture, but to just be present to God and to my surroundings as

we walked. Amazing what I noticed. Birds everywhere, chirping in all different dialects and sounds; dogs

barking; trees of all shapes and sizes; vibrant colored flowers. The sky was a tapestry of white clouds

against a brightening blue sky.

At one point, I rounded a corner and saw a peak of the sun breaking through the clouds on the hori-

zon and my heart leapt in my chest. Yes, the sight was beautiful, but more than that I was so acutely aware

of the beauty, the majesty, the mercy and the steadfastness of God. I was reminded in that moment of Je-

sus’ resurrection and the hope that resurrection offers us every day. A hope that dares to continue to “rise

and shine” every day and to remind us that God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23) .

A hope that was there before I was ever born, and a hope that will remain long after I am gone. A hope

grounded in the truth that “the worst thing is never the last thing” (Frederick Buechner). A hope not

grounded in a fatalism that says, “we just put up with the brokenness in the world until we get to heaven

someday”, but rather a hope which empowers us to do something about the brokenness around us.

This is a hope that informs us how we are to respond to the brokenness we see all around us. How

we respond to the mass murder in Orlando; to the plight of children in our world: immigrant children in

detention centers, children being sold into the sex trade, children abandoned, neglected or abused, children

going hungry, children who cannot read, and children going to bed at night without a bed. How we respond

to our enemies and to our friends; to the hurting, grieving, and lonely in our midst. And the list goes on.

My heart leapt in my chest at the sight of the sun rising, because it reminded me that Jesus entered

into a dark and broken world and did

something about it. Resurrection is

happening every moment of every

day. The question for us is, how will

we continue to let this reality spur us

on to be agents of hope and change

in the world, to speak light into the

dark places, to be sources of comfort

and peace, and to be voices and ad-

vocates for the voiceless and vulner-

able? I am so grateful to be part of a

community of faith who is willing to

ask these questions and act coura-

geously to seek solutions. May the

sunrise each morning remind you of

the steadfast love and mercy of God

and of the resurrection hope of our

faith.

In the love of Christ,

Tamara

Infertility Resource/Prayer Group

Have you or someone close to you experienced

infertility? Local support resources for those

struggling with infertility are limited in San Ange-

lo. We are in the process of trying to develop a list

of couples who have been on that journey –

whether it resulted in pregnancy, adoption or de-

ciding to remain childfree – to provide couples

currently experiencing infertility with either

someone to talk to who has been there or someone

just to pray for them.

If you would like to be available as a resource for

couples struggling with infertility within our

church or if you would like to pray for these cou-

ples, please contact the church office.

Summer Mission Work

for Older Elementary Children

Once again, kids at Sierra Vista are doing service

projects this summer at various locations through-

out the Concho Valley. “Mission: Possible” is

geared toward all kids who will be entering the 4th,

5th, and 6th grades in fall, 2016.

We will plan on two Fridays a month from approx-

imately 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Our next mission

together will be Friday, July 1. Kids should wear

their MP t-shirt and walking shoes; they should

also bring a sack lunch. Parents can drop-off and

pick-up in the front Sierra Vista parking lot.

Other Mission: Possible dates include July 15 and

29, as well as August 12. More information is also

coming about a special end-of-summer celebration

planned for this group.

Care and Share

Younger elementary kids at Sierra Vista will get a

chance to do mission work this summer! On Fri-

day, June 24, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m., children

going into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades are invited to

spend the morning helping to make sandwiches for

the Wesley Soup Kitchen. This “Care and Share”

morning will include snacks and some fun, play

time. Fridays, July 8 and 22, will be other “Care

and Share” opportunities. Parents are encouraged

to enjoy these simple volunteer opportunities with

their children and should look for email updates

with more specific information.
