Immersion Bible Study begins this Sunday 

Gospel of Matthew

 

This Sunday, October 2, we will begin an eight-week study of the Gospel of Matthew led by Andy and Kelly Weaver. Through this Immersion Bible Study participants will journey inside the pages of Scripture as they become engaged with God's Word and engage God in the Word. A new translation of the Bible, the Common English Bible, serves as the biblical text for this study. The class will meet from 5:00 -7:00 p.m., October 2 through November 20.  Register online here or contact Carol Uzzle at 359-6041, ext 117.

Stop Hunger Now returns

 

Reveille members of all ages and physical abilities will join together, once again, on Sunday, October 16, to help the world's most destitute and hungry. In this easy, fun, Stopand rewarding multi-generational event, our Reveille family will form a human assembly line in the fellowship hall to package more than 11,000 meals consisting of rice, dehydrated vegetables, and flavoring mix that includes 21 essential vitamins and minerals that can be easily shipped and stored for five years. 

 

If you can join us on October 16, please sign up here or call the church office at 359-6041. It is extremely important that we have an accurate count of volunteers because our numbers will determine how many packing stations we set up. You can sign up for either one-hour shift at 4:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. We'll need 100 people for each shift to meet our goal of packaging over 11,000 meals.  Please contact Mark Dozier here or 754-2340 should you have any questions.  

 

Come join us for a truly fun-filled, family event to help the more than 1 billion people who suffer from hunger in our world.
