Alpha is Coming to Reveille

Have you noticed banners reading "Alpha is coming" and wondered what that means? Over the next several weeks be sure to check The Window for information about Alpha as we prepare for our first Alpha experience that will begin in late February. What is Alpha? Alpha is a study course that covers the basics of Christianity. It answers questions like "Who is Jesus?" and "Why did he die?" The Alpha course lasts 10 weeks, with a day or weekend getaway in the middle. Each week, guests gather to share an informal meal, sing a few songs, listen to a talk on how Christianity approaches the question at hand, and then gather into small groups for discussion. The talks act as a springboard for small group discussions. Plan to attend Wonderful Wednesday on February 9 when the program will focus on Alpha. Child care will be available. If you have questions, please contact Burdette Robinson at mbrobinson777@gmail.com or 837-7717, or Carol Uzzle at discipleship@reveilleumc.org, or 359-6041, ext. 117.

UMMen Workday Planned

For the past two years, the UMMen of Cunningham UMC (Charlottesville District) and Welborne UMC (Richmond District) have joined together for a workday at Westview on the James in Goochland County. Other churches’ UMMen are invited to join this work team. Some of the projects worked on were electrical, plumbing, painting, roofing, tree trimming and general repairs. The workday is scheduled for Saturday, April 23. The day will start about 9:00 a.m. and finish up around 3:00 p.m. The group will receive a work list prior to arriving at the site. In the past Westview has provided tools and lunch. For more information call Emerson Shelton at 741-7266.
