Sunday Mornings
9:30 -10:30 am
24 Hours That Changed the World by Adam Hamilton
February 17 - March 24, Growing in Grace Class, Room 207
No single event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. In this book, Adam Hamilton guides us through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus' life.
Easter From the Backside by J. Ellsworth Kalas
February 17 - March 24, Logos Class, Room 209
Author J. Ellsworth Kalas opens up new possibilities of insight into the biblical Easter story, looking beyond the traditional gospel scriptures to connect the story of Christ's resurrection with other stories and scriptures throughout the Bible, including both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Journey to Jerusalem
Put on your hiking shoes and get ready for five weeks of exploration. We will journey towards Jerusalem and walk in Jesus' footsteps. Come join us on Wednesday nights during Lent. We will meet in the fellowship hall beginning at 6:45 pm and go until 7:30 pm. This opportunity is open to Pre-K through 5th grade children.

Ultimate Lenten Experience
Walk with Christ during the last week of His life on earth. Be a part of those who sang "Hosanna." Get to know the disciples who loved Him but left Him. What went  on in the temple that upset Christ so? How did Mary feel? How could one of Christ's best friends have betrayed him and set Him up for death? What did Christ say to God in Gethsemane? This and so much more is explored in Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar.
You have the opportunity to be on the inside of one of the most life-altering events in the history of the world; don't let it pass. Be a part of the chorus (the crowd), a major player in this, our heritage as Christians.
Rehearsals are Sundays, 5:00-5:30 pm or 6:30-7:00 pm in the choir room. Email Cathy Armistead or call 359-6041. Make this part of your Lenten journey.

February Friends of the Homeless Hot Meal
 It's that time again - time to prepare for the 4th Thursday of the month. On Thursday, February 28, Reveille members will serve a hot meal of roasted chicken, cheesy potato casserole, green beans and dessert to some of Richmond's homeless population. There are several ways you can help:
- Prepare a potato casserole. The recipe, with drop-off instructions, can be picked up from the sign-up board in the welcome center.
- Be a server (we need six) at Greater Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Meet us at Reveille at 11:00 am and carpool or meet us at the site. For child care while serving the meal, email Lori Epps one week prior or call her at 359-6041, ext. 117.
- NEW THIS MONTH: Eat and fellowship with those we serve on February 28. If you are interested, please contact Kay Craven or sign up on the board in the welcome center.
- Donate some of the following items: Gallon-size plastic bags, plastic Tupperware-like containers (used containers are fine) and 55-gallon trash bags. A collection area for these items is by the elevator in the alcove near the staircase off the red carpet.
Please look for the sign-up sheet in the new welcome center area. For more information email Kay Craven.

The Parent Link
The Parent Link is our new children's ministry newsletter that will be coming out monthly. The first part of the newsletter has information provided by Group Publishing that touches on a monthly theme, gives suggestions on how to spend more quality time together as a family, as well as shares music and movie reviews and culture trends. I am providing a monthly calendar of events and opportunities to further engage in quality time through meaningful conversation starters and prayer focuses. Also included will be highlights of Reveille's upcoming events in more detail as related to children. I hope that you will click on this month's link for our newsletter and share it with those who would benefit from it.

We also participate in worship together and spend Thursday night in a fun fellowship activity that has included in the past either swimming or jumping at a local bouncy house.

Kaleidoscope Music Camp
This exciting week of music takes place Monday, August 5th through Friday, August 9th at the Blackstone Conference and Retreat Center (formerly VUMAC) in
Blackstone, Virginia. This facility use to be a women's college back in the day, so participants get to stay in dorm-type rooms that have their own bathrooms. This event is open to rising 3rd through rising 6th graders. A guest choir conducts choir practices throughout the week that culminates in a concert for families on Thursday evening. The children get to participate in various workshops each day to include crafts, worship and scripture, indoor recreation, outdoor recreation (to include pool time), the zone (which is themed oriented), and Orff instruments. There are morning devotions each day and nightly worship with a guest pastor. It is a great camp experience.
