Discerning Membership at Reveille?  

Learn More at Reveille Today

All adults who are discerning membership are asked to attend Reveille Today, a class designed by members to help visitors learn more about our church. Reveille Today consists of three sessions over three weeks. These sessions focus on getting to know The United Methodist Church and the congregation at Reveille so you can understand its ministries and the opportunities offered for worship, discipleship and service. Our last session centers on discerning your individual spiritual gifts so you can begin thinking about how you can best serve God and humanity in the church and in the world. The next Reveille Today class begins Sunday, January 13 and will continue January 20 and 27, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm in the Reveille House Dining Room. Child care will be provided. Participants in this winter's Reveille Today class will have an opportunity to join on Sunday, February 17. Please register with Katie B. Anthony here or by calling 359-6041, ext. 111.

Do You Like A Cappella Music?

If you love a cappella music, this concert is for YOU: the Cornell University Glee Club will give their final tour concert at Reveille on Tuesday, January 15 at 7:00 pm in our sanctuary! And for your convenience, we will have a Terrific Tuesday dinner this week instead of Wonderful Wednesday, so make your reservation, come eat dinner at 6:00 pm, then stay for the concert. This 45-voice all-male a cappella group was formed in the mid-1800's, and has toured all over the world. In the early 1960's, they toured Asia and performed for 100 million people. Don't miss this rare opportunity!
