What's Happening at Reveille

Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the meaning of life and the Christian faith. Weekly, Alpha guests gather for a meal, worship, a talk, and small group discussion. We are living out the Christian faith as Alpha seeks to answer the questions of life and faith in a warm and accepting atmosphere.

Excitement was in the air for the first session of Alpha on February 22. Joining us were church members, friends and family of members, those who have been participating in worship at Reveille, and those who have heard about Alpha but had no previous connection to Reveille.

Alpha meets at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday nights. It is not too late to participate; you can still join us this coming Tuesday night, March 1. You may register by calling the church office at 359-6041. Child care will be provided.

For answers to your questions, please contact Burdette Robinson, Alpha Coordinator, or Carol Uzzle, Minister for Teaching and Learning. Carol may also be reached by phone at 359-6041, ext. 117.
