PROGRAMS & EVENTS
Stewardship Campaign: Raise Us Up
Our 2025 stewardship campaign, “Raise Us Up,” is not just a theme, it is our prayer. We are asking God to lift us up to see and embrace the new things God has in store for us as a church. We are seeking to raise up Reveille to reach and include more people, strengthen faith through discipleship, and serve with greater impact in our community. Make your 2025 commitment at www.reveilleumc.org/pledge.

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 or shop in person in the welcome center on December 8 and 15.
Poinsettia Dedications due by December 2
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 here or 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.

Learn more and donate now.
Bring Christmas joy to a child through the UMFS gift program.

Sermon Series, December 1-December 22, “Voice of the Angels”
Sundays: 8:30, 9:30, 11:00 am, online anytime
The voices are in the background, but the angels still have a pivotal role in the Christmas story. Throughout these weeks of Advent and Christmas, we will hear their words once again through our sermon series, “Voice of the Angels.” As we will see, their words still speak clearly into the hopes and fears of all the years, especially now.
