We want to know who is worshipping with us, and who you are! Welcome and announcements Prelude (the gift of music helps us to prepare our hearts for worship) Lighting of the candles (the flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit) Call to Worship (from Zechariah 9:9) Leader: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, you king is coming to you: Congregation: righteous and having salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. *Opening Hymn Shepherd’s Psalm, #137 in the hymnal (read in unison) Invitation to Prayer, Pastoral Prayer, closed with the Lord’s Prayer in Unison The Lord’s Prayer – 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

“Christ’s Kingdom Not of This World”
John 18:36-37
Offering (We give our gifts to God) Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.—Matthew 6:19, 21 NIV *Doxology ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise him above ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.” *Closing Hymn Benediction Postlude The Acolyte will take the light of Christ into the world * please stand if it is comfortable for you to do so Gail Keefer, pianist Pastor Chad Carter Email: ccarter@susumc.org Office: (570) 356-7022 www.kulpmtzion.org
