People: Hosanna in the highest! We praise you O God!

People: Our king comes to us; triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, as he travels toward the violence.

People: Hosanna in the highest! We praise you today, O God.

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem

1When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately. 4This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, 5“Tell the daughter of Zion, Look, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” 6The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?”

11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Black History Moment

Sandra Douglass Morgan

First Black Female President of an NFL Team

Growing up in Las Vegas, Sandra

Douglass Morgan never dreamed about making history she just wanted to make herself, and her parents, proud.

Her father Gilbert, who’s Black, and her mother Kil Cha, who is a first-generation Korean American, would swap stories about experiencing casual racism at their jobs. Gilbert was in the military, and her mother worked in the gaming industry.

Douglass Morgan, now 44, made a promise to herself: No matter what she did, she would champion equity and respect. If she wasn’t happy or felt like she wasn’t being seen, she would be part of the change.

The attorney and business leader is now a major part of the change as the President of the Las Vegas Raiders the first Black woman to lead an NFL team.

Born on Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, Douglass Morgan is a graduate of the University of Nevada, and the William S. Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
