Swansboro Mentor Training
August 28
Please prayerfully consider serving as a mentor for one hour a week to the many at-risk students at Swansboro Elementary School. The Micah Initiative will host a training session at Reveille on Tuesday, August 28 from 5:30-8:30 pm. This session will be geared specifically for mentoring at Swansboro Elementary . We ask all who have served in the past and all who are interested in serving as mentors to attend. If you are unable to attend August 28, other training opportunities are available.
Reveille has been involved with this ministry for a number of years, but there is a great need for more mentors. Mentors spend one hour per week with a child helping them with their school work, reading to them, or sharing stories. There are 330 children at the school, 90% of which are "known" to social services, and all need mentors. Currently, Reveille provides eight mentors and other groups provide an additional 20. Please consider the training session to see if mentoring at Swansboro would be right for you. For more information, dates and times, please email Laura Holdych. You may register for the training session here or call Rev. Katie B. Anthony at 359-6041, ext. 111.

Last One This Year! Summer Book Review
Your last chance to attend a Reveille summer book review in  2012 is Wednesday, August 29. This month Lydia Netzer will be here to talk about her debut novel Shine, Shine, Shine. Lydia lives in Virginia with her husband and children, whom she homeschools. Apparently, she is also a guitar player and chief of the watermelon police!! Sounds like a person we all want to meet.
 Shine, Shine, Shine is a "shocking, searing, breathless love story" about a modern family, that explores what it means to be human. Per Kelly Justice, owner of Fountain Bookstore, "I love this book. Everyone I know in the industry loves this book. You will love this book." Sounds like it's too good to miss.
Refreshments begin at 10:30 am in the welcome center, and the book review begins at 11:00 in the chapel. Child care is provided. Don't miss out on this last book review of the summer.
