Shop Glorious Gifts and Support Outreach Ministries
Glorious Gifts is an alternative way of shopping for Christmas gifts while supporting the outreach ministries of Reveille. Each of our outreach ministries has created a shopping list of needed items that you can “buy.” Instead of receiving the item, you will receive a card that you can give as a gift. Shop for Glorious Gifts online at www.reveilleumc.org/glorious-gifts. You can also shop in person in the welcome center on December 8 and 15.

Poinsettia Dedications
Dedicate poinsettias in honor or memory of a loved one and help beautify our worship spaces, December 15-24. To have your dedication included in the poinsettia gift listing on December 15, place your order online at www.bit.ly/poinsettia-revumc. You can also complete and return the paper form (available from the worship check-in tables) with your donation by December 2. The suggested donation per poinsettia is $20.
