    Starting September 16

    Wednesday Night LiveStarting on Wednesday, September 16, Two Rivers will begin another year of Wednesday Night Live. This is a free night of fellowship and ministry. It all begins at 5:30 with a dinner provided by a different person each week. Donations are accepted to offset the cost of the dinner, but are not required. After dinner, there are several different music and age-appropriate ministries.

    6:00-7:00 Bell Choir practices with director Judy Litherland. This group is open to people of all ages. There is no experience necessary.

    6:15-7:00 Happy Hearts dance ministry rehearses in the sanctuary. Constance King leads the dancers, from Kindergarten and up, in praise. Happy Hearts dances in worship on Sunday mornings about once a month.

    7:00-8:00 Two Rivers Youth and Kids’ Club divide into their own groups. Kids’ Club uses the Pockets Devotional for weekly lessons and games. They are also starting a kids book club this year. Two Rivers Youth meets upstairs in the Youth Room with Pastor Robb for games and discussion.

    7:30-8:30 Choir practice with director Mark Swessinger. The Choir practices each week and sings in worship every Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
