One of the most powerful ways that God communicates to humanity is through dreams and visions. In Lent, we will examine different dreams and vision that God has revealed to the people.

Corey Kilgannon, a singer and songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee, will give a free concert in the sanctuary of Two Rivers United Methodist Church on Friday, February 12 at 7 p.m.
Kilgannon released a set with Daytrotter in July 2015. Daytrotter, formerly in Rock Island, is a popular recording studio, working with up and coming talents and music legends. After hearing one of his songs on Daytrotter, Pastor Robb commented to Corey through twitter. The two connected there, and the idea of a concert was born.
Corey is a part of a growing independent American folk scene. His music, though not explicitly Christian, deals with spiritual elements such as love, loss, faith, and doubt. The stripped-down set will be just him and an acoustic guitar. This is a great chance to meet a rising artist in an intimate setting.
The Silver Season of the Lenten Concert Series is one to remember. Featuring a wide variety of music, these concerts are free to the public. Every Wednesday at noon in Lent, there will be a wonderful display of music and Spirit.
February 17 – Richard Bruxvoort Colligan. Richard appeared at the 2015 Lion and Lamb Festival, and is a regular on Pastor Robb’s Pulpit Fiction Podcast. He is an independent folk singer from Strawberry Point, Iowa who has a deep love for the Psalms.
February 24 – Edgar Crockett and David Holcomb. This jazz duo is well known in the Quad Cities, and are regular guests at Two Rivers Church. They will also be a part of our worship on Sunday, February 7.
March 2 – The River Music Experience featuring Ellis Kell and Bret Dale. With Ellis and Bret on guitar, RME Ambassadors Nick Vasquez on keyboards, and Terry Hanson on drums, this promises to be an exiciting concert. Their set of American roots music will get everyone involved, toe-tapping, and singing along.
March 9 – The Rock Island High School Chamber Singers. Directed by Scott Voight, these young people are a vocal performance group in high demand. They perform a wide variety of choral literature.
March 16 – Theresa Yarger and Ryan Van Wassenhove. Theresa is the organist at First United Methodist Church in Kewanee. Ryan is her student.
March 23 – Marc Zyle and Benjamin Loeb. Marc is the primary French Horn for the Quad City Symphony Orchestra. Benjamen is a renowned pianist and the Executive Director of the Quad City Symphony Orchestra.
Sunday, February 7 will be a special time of worship and celebration. Edgar Crockett and his jazz combo will join us for worship on the last Sunday before Lent. Dr. Crockett is a renowned jazz trumpeter, and he is bringing his friends.
They will lead all of the music, including the worship songs. So bring your beads, your dancing shoes, and be ready for a joyful morning.
