PALM SUNDAY Assemble in God’s Name Prelude..................................................................................................Nicholas Bowden Introit (10:00 & 11:15) Sing to the Lord.................................................................................................Ken Medema The Kingdom Singers The Praise Singers

**Life of the Congregation Call to Worship Pastor: The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

People: For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Pastor: Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place?

People: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. He will receive blessing from the LORD. Pastor: Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in.

Written by Theodulph, bishop of Orleans while imprisoned in 820, this Palm Sunday hymn combines the past, present and future songs of praise to Jesus.

For what are you praising Jesus today?

ALL: Who is he, this King of Glory? The LORD Almighty—he is the King of Glory.

GIVE PRAISE TO GOD

**Hymn of Praise

All Glory, Laud, and Honor...............................................................ST. THEODULPH Page 8

Palm Processional (8:45 and 11:15) Lighting of the Candles Placement of the Bible Prayer of Confession (8:45 & 11:15) L ord Jesus, we sing your praises and call you our king. But our praises are too quickly silenced and our obedience to your leading is often half-hearted. When you demand too much, we are likely to draw back from you much like the crowd that greeted you in Jerusalem. Forgive us when we proclaim your rule over us with our words, but reject you in the way we live. You were wounded and crushed for our sins. You were crucified so that we might find healing. Incline our hearts toward you in love and thankfulness as we continue to offer our confessions in silence . . .

Assurance of God’s Forgiveness * Congregational Response Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing................................................nettleton O to grace how great a debtor, daily I’m constrained to be; Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love Here’s my heart: O, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

Palm Processional (10:00) Scripture Reading: Mark 11:1-10 Antiphonal Hosanna...................................................................................G. Alan Smith The Chancel Choir The Kingdom Singers and the Praise Singers Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord!

Pastoral Prayer and 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 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.

Who is the King of Glory?

The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of Glory shall come in.

Who is the King of Glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.

Eugene Peterson, beloved pastor, scholar, and translator of The Message, takes you back to Jesus’ time so you can experience the Resurrection through the eyes of biblical witnesses. You’ll be a participant in the story, so its meaning and wonder can enliven your soul as never before.

In her practice, Kate Ferguson has found consistently that parents want support and clarity on how to communicate with their children in emotionally healthy ways. A first step is having mom and dad join forces.

This workshop will equip parents to parent with increased confidence and fun - trusting that they are raising emotionally intelligent people.

PRESENTS: Love is a strategy.

Many businessmen and leaders assume getting results and caring for others don’t mix - if you’re not being ruthless, you’re being a doormat.

Joel Manby shows us how you can both lead your organization well and be a good human at the same time.

Don’t miss this game changing event on the hottest leadership book today.
