He is Risen!
Prelude: Ron Dobscha
Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: This is the day that the Lord has made! We will rejoice and be glad in it! The Lord is our strength and our song: He has become our victory! You are our God, and we will praise You; You are our God, and we will exalt You. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful loves endures forever! INVOCATION:
*Hymn: “Jesus Christ is Risen Today” #232
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, though You should guide us, we inform ourselves; though You should rule us, we control ourselves; though You should fulfill us, we console ourselves. We think Your truth too high, Your will too hard, Your power too remote, Your love too free. But they are not! And without them, we are of all people most miserable. Now heal our confused minds with Your word, heal our divided wills with Your law, heal our troubled consciences with Your love, heal our anxious hearts with Your presence, all for the sake of Your Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

Prelude: Ron Dobscha
CALL TO WORSHIP: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! Blessing and honor and glory and power be to the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever! You alone are holy! All the earth will come and worship before You, for Your righteous deeds have been revealed for all to see. He is Risen! Worship our risen King! INVOCATION
*Hymn: Jesus Christ is Risen Today” # 232
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Almighty Father, You are the source of every good and perfect gift. We praise Your name for the greatest and most perfect gift: Your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. But in lifting Him up, we humble ourselves before You. We confess to You, not only our sins of omission in failing to do what we know is right, but also our sins of commission in doing what You forbid. O Lord, we are weak and feeble, slow to confess our sins and prone to wander from the path of righteousness, do not deal with us as our sins deserve but wash us clean in the blood of the Lamb and empower us by Your Spirit to live to honor and serve our Savior King. We praise You that He was born like us that we might become like Him. In Jesus Name we pray. AMEN. *Time of Silent Prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 Passing of the peace Scripture: Psalm 46 Kirkland Cipoletti SERMON TEXT: Romans 5: 12-21 *Hymn: “Good Christian All, Rejoice and Sing!” # 239 *Apostles Creed (next to prayer list) Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *Hymn: “Shine Jesus Shine” #192 * Benediction Postlude

PALM SUNDAY Prelude: Carol Smith Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: Look! Our mighty King comes on the back of a donkey! The fullness of God, has come to us with a sword in hand, ready to defeat the power of sin and death! His ways are righteous, His judgements are just. Let us not turn our hearts away from Him this day, but forever lay palms and our crowns at His feet! Shout Hosanna! Shout save us! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Come and worship Him! INVOCATION
*HYMN: Hosanna, Loud Hosanna # 197
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, on this Palm Sunday we read of Your willing, unwavering entry into the great city that for generations has beheld Your power and kindness. And yet, as the Son enters in, we know that sinful hearts will quickly turn from praise to demand of crucifixion. Today, we also too often reject the King who rides on a donkey. We want Him to destroy our enemies instead of extending mercy, we want to be exalted instead of being humbled, we want fighting instead of peace. Have mercy on us for the countless ways we harden our hearts and resist submission for Our King. Save us, O Lord!

Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: The Lord calls His people to lay down their way of life for His. To take up our cross, and to devote our lives to following Jesus. What can we expect in our service to the Lord? Things will not always be smooth and easy, our old ways of life will fade away, we will be like sheep sent out among wolves. What will we gain in our service to the Lord? Just as the Lord has joined the Father’s glory, so shall we. To know God is our great reward both in life and death. We pick up our cross and will be raised in His glory. Come and worship our great Lord, King, and Savior! INVOCATION
*HYMN: “Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise” # 12
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, You have created and blessed us with so many beautiful and wonderful things in this life. Yet in our sin, we have made the focus of our life on these things that bring us pleasure. We are drawn to the beauty of the world and forget how much more wonderful You, the maker of everything are. We become so obsessed with our momentary happiness that we resist Your call to deny ourselves and follow You. Forgive us, God for putting what we want before what You command. For ignoring the needs of our neighbors. For withholding the forgiveness, You so freely extend to us. As we confess these sins and the sinfulness that we don’t even see, we trust in Your loving kindness to justify and restore us.

You know how hard it is for us to forgive. Forgive us and make us clean, so that we can obey Your call to take up Your cross and follow You. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
