Help Organize and Clean Up Pews for Christmas Eve

Sermon Series: “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.

Shop Glorious Gifts through December 31
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 through December 31.

Support U.S. Disaster Recovery With a Donation to the Advent Offering
This year’s Advent and Christmas offering will aid two disaster relief efforts. Your donations will help equip a Reveille disaster response team to assist with Western North Carolina’s recovery in late spring 2025. Your donations will also support UMCOR’s U.S. Disaster Response. Learn more and donate now.
