Luke — “One Story, Told Four Ways: The Outsiders' Story”

This week the Gospel changes voices again. Luke repeatedly pulls our attention toward people living at the edges—women, poor people, foreigners, people labeled sinners, and people respectable society might prefer not to notice. What happens when the characters normally pushed to the edges become the people the storyteller wants us watching most closely?

METHODIST MOMENT — JOHN WESLEY BELIEVED IN GHOSTS?!

Old Jeffrey wasn't the end of Wesley's interest in the supernatural. John Wesley collected accounts of apparitions, strange experiences, and things his eighteenth-century world couldn't easily explain. Why would a highly educated minister take ghost stories seriously? The answer tells us something fascinating about Wesley, science, faith, and the intellectual world in which Methodism was born.

KIDS — BRING SOMETHING FOR THE RAINBOW RUG!

Our kids are part of the community, so instead of adults always preaching a children's sermon to them, the Rainbow Rug gives our kids a chance to share their own little sermons with us. Kids are invited to bring a favorite toy, stuffed animal, book, rock, drawing, something they made, something they found outside, or anything else they'd like to show us. Childcare is available after the Rainbow Rug, and children are also always welcome to remain in worship. Wiggles, noises, questions, and moving around are part of having children in a community.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Whatever makes you feel comfortable being you. Dress up because you love dressing up or come in jeans, shorts, a T-shirt, bright colors, makeup, no makeup, or whatever feels right to you. There isn't a Mosaic version of what you're supposed to look like at church. Come comfortable. Show us your true self
