Pre-worship Music Palm Sunday Medley  Alex Danson
ONE: Look! Your king is coming-- humble and riding on a donkey.
ALL: Hosanna to the Son of David!
ONE: Lay your cloaks before him; spread palms to honor him.
ALL: Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!
ONE: Raise your voices. Lift your hearts. Rejoice-- our Savior comes!
ALL: Hosanna in the highest heaven!

Welcoming Hymn God Welcomes All (rec. 3/8/20)  Hymn #399
ONE: Today Jesus enters Jerusalem as a king.

ALL: But soon shouts of "Hosanna!" will turn to cries of "Crucify!"

ONE: Like the crowds of long ago, we are fickle followers.

ALL: But God is faithful.

ONE: Trusting in God's mercy, let us confess our sins before God and one another.

ONE: Suffering God, the way of the cross is a hard road.

ALL: It is draining. It is demanding. It is fraught with danger.

ONE: You ask us to stay by your side as you walk toward Calvary. But weariness and fear overtake us. Like the first disciples, we are quick

ALL: to betray you, to deny you, to abandon you.

ONE: Forgive us, God, and strengthen us for the journey ahead. Give us courage to face the pain and suffering of this world and to respond with compassion. As the darkness gathers,

ALL: renew our faith, fill us with hope, and startle us with your grace.

Welcoming My Peace (As we return to our seats.)  Rev. Bruce Myers
ONE: Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation. The old life has gone; a new life has begun. Know that you are forgiven and be at peace.
ALL: In Jesus Christ we are forgiven, and called to be at peace. Amen.

Life of the Church The King Is Coming  Elder Peggy Kueffer
Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.


Passing of the Peace Hosanna, Loud Hosanna  Congregation
Gracious God, our way in the wilderness, guide us by your Word through these forty days, and minister to us with your Holy Spirit, so that we may be reformed, restored, and renewed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Prelude Change My Heart, O God (rec. 3/1/20)  Alex Danson
PASTOR: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And also with you.
PASTOR: Lift up your hearts.
ALL: We lift them to the Lord.
PASTOR: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
ALL: It is right to give our thanks and praise.
