Reveille Days Begin:
Loving, Knowing and Serving God
September 12: Loving God through Worship and Music
Our love of God grows deeper and is renewed each week in worship through word and music and song. In our worship services on September 12, we celebrate our adult, youth, and children's choirs and their leaders. We give thanks for the music ministry of CrossPoint and all who provide leadership for The Point. We recognize the manifold ways in which worship at Reveille is made rich and beautiful by acolytes, crucifers, lay readers, ushers, and the altar guild, and special occasion decorating committee. We will recognize our worship committee and all whose contributions enhance our worship experience. Also, our children's and youth choirs begin practice this week.

Spa for the Soul
A Retreat for Mothers and Daughters
We live in a noisy world, crowded with demands. What would happen if we stepped away for a day? We will create a space to enjoy ourselves in the company of other girls and women. Girls: You'll get to tell moms some things you wish they knew. Moms: You'll get a chance to listen deeply to your daughters. We'll all be reminded that our bodies, minds, and souls are good gifts. And we will wonder about what God wants us to dream and to do. When we leave this place, we will be stronger, braver, and more able to hear God's call. And the noisy world? It will still be there when we get back.
Join the youth of Reveille UMC for a 25-hour retreat, beginning on September 24 at 6:00 p.m.
at Westview-on-the-James in Goochland.
Our retreat leaders are the Reverend Dr. Dori Baker, a United Methodist minister, writer, and author of Doing Girlfriend Theology: God-Talk with Young Women, and Lindsey Williams, a graduate student in clinical psychology at Western Michigan University and author of the forthcoming book Ten Things Your Daughter Wished You Knew.
To register, get a check to Dwayne for $30 per person (moms or daughters) by September 12. Please make checks payable to Reveille UMC. Contact Dwayne for more information at dwayne@reveilleumc.org.
