Upside
down & inside out
Lent 3:
God’s foolishness
We know what laws are for: to help us be good. Yet God turns our knowledge inside out,
showing us that you can color inside all the lines and still miss the
mark. What if God’s foolishness is wiser
than human wisdom?
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.

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.
