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.
Starting on January 17, Two Rivers United Methodist Church will begin a very important sermon series. This three part series will take a look at how churches can be a source of healing for mental health, suicide, and domestic violence.
All too often, churches have remained silent on topics such as these. It is beyond time that the Church stop pretending that these issues do not effect those that gather on Sunday mornings. Pastor Robb will take a hard look at how the Church has been a part of the problem historically, but also how the Church can be a part of the healing process. He has spent a lot of time in interviews with experts, counselors, and real people in our congregation who have struggles with these issues.
Starting on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, Two Rivers Church will begin to prepare for Christmas. Advent is an ancient tradition of preparation that culminates in the celebration of Christ’s birth and the Christmas season. The theme of “Restore” will flow through our Advent season.

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.
