Upside down & inside out
Palm/Passion Sunday: A second look

We think we can recognize the difference between trash and treasure.  Yet God invites us to take a second look.  What if that stone the builders rejected is in fact the one that sets the standard for the whole building?




FIRST LOOK
We invite you to greet those around you and welcome visitors to our time of worship as you enter the sanctuary.
As the prelude begins, we invite you to end your conversations with those around you and quiet your hearts and minds in preparation for the worship service.

Welcome and Opening Prayer         
Songs of Worship                
Scripture Reading                                Isaiah 50:4-9a
Children’s Time
If God is going to turn us upside down and inside out during this Lenten season, we will need to give our consent to that transformation by being oriented toward, and around, God.  The classic way Christians have done this is through prayer.  Each week during Lent the children (and adults) will be invited to participate in different ways of praying—ways of praying that invite God to focus and refocus our lives on and in Christ.         
Scripture Reading                                Matthew 21:1-11
