SPIRIT TEAM SHOUT OUT
September, 2015
Be a Swansboro Star this Fall!
The SPIRIT (Swansboro Partners Inspiring Relationships In Christ Together) Team at Reveille sends greetings and warm regards as the summer days begin to fade into the cool season of autumn. We hope you and your family had a fabulous summer. The SPIRIT Team at Reveille enjoyed many events with the Swansboro community this summer as we collaborated with our partner churches, Love Center of Unity Church and Koinonia Christian Church. We hope you will enjoy reading about all that God has been doing in this ministry and decide to join us as the new school year begins. Be a Swansboro Star this year!
Successful Summer Programs
There was much activity in the Swansboro Ministry this summer! The KIDZ Campers and VBS children from Reveille collected canned food items for the food pantries at LCU and Koinonia in addition to school supplies for Swansboro Elementary. The KIDZ Campers also enjoyed a day of landscaping at Swansboro Elementary and Koinonia Church as well as delivering potted plants to area Swansboro residents. Reveille was blessed to have members from LCU and Koinonia attend a performance of Godspell this summer and joint family picnic. Reveille sponsored 27 children from Swansboro Elementary to attend Westview on the James Camp and several children from Koinonia attended Kaleidoscope with Cathy Armistead and company! Some Reveille families attended the National Night Out program at Koinonia in August and VBS at Koinonia this summer. This was a busy and enriching summer for everyone as we joined together in ministry to worship Christ and share His message.
Swansboro Elementary Needs You!
There are many ways you can be a star at Swansboro Elementary this year! Be a mentor. Help with reading, games and crafts while being a special person in a child's life at Swansboro Elementary. Time commitment is one hour per week. You may come at any time during the day, lunchtime included, September through May. Training is available. Register at www.micahrva.org/kick-off-registration by September 4th. You can also read to a class at any time during the year or make a cake for the fall festival in November. There is also need for volunteers to help with the Girl Scouts who meet at Koinonia two Wednesday nights a month. Share your career or some life skill with these fabulous young women. You may also assist with Musical Mondays held at Koinonia each Monday night at 5:00 pm. Help teach guitar, piano, drums, violin or assist with crafts or homework. This is a great time to fellowship with our Swansboro neighbors. Please contact Sheelagh Davis at sheelagh.d@verizon.net or Kathy Rainey at csrainey1@verizon.net if you are interested in sharing your time and talents with the Swansboro ministry.
