As a way to kick off the new school year, we will look at the joys and pitfalls of parenthood. The Book of Genesis tells the story of three important sets of parents. They loved their children. They made mistakes. They hurt people that they loved, but through it all they remained faithful to each other and to God. They were not perfect, but they are the fathers and mothers of our faith.

There are a lot of exciting events coming this fall to Two Rivers United Methodist Church. There are many ways to serve our community, reach out in ministry, and enjoy the fellowship of Christian brothers and sisters. More details will come, but we want to make sure you don’t miss any of these great events.
In a world that seems to crave clear lines of distinction, categories, and either/or; the Gospel calls us to “And.” John and Charles Wesley, the founders of the Methodist movement, which would become the Methodist Church, understood this over 200 years ago. The power of ‘and’ is a part of our Methodist DNA, and it remains a powerful part of healing our world today.
Every Sunday in June Two Rivers Church will be digging deeper into prayer. By taking a closer look at the Psalms, Pastor Robb will show ways to pray. Each week will focus on a different type of prayer:
May 31: Praise
June 7: Thanksgiving
June 14: Intercession (asking God to act in the lift of another)
June 21: Supplication (asking God to act in my own life)
June 28: Lamentation (God’s complaint box)
The Psalms provide us with 150 different prayers. Each a different poem containing every human emotion. Over the course of June, we will look at one Psalm a week. We will find something beautiful and new in the poetry of the Psalms and in the prayers of the heart. The series promises to enrich both our worship life and prayer life as we move closer to God.
