ANNOUNCEMENTS: CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 8) How majestic is our LORD? In all the earth, His majesty is declared. In the heavens or on earth, His glory is seen. From all His creation He receives praise. When we think of all Your wonders, how You hang the stars and moon, how You set everything in place, who are we that You should care for us? Out of Your great love and care for us, You have crowned us with glory and honor. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! Come now and give Him the worship worthy of His name!

Holy and Merciful God, we confess to You and to one another that we have sinned against You. We have sinned in thought, word, and deed by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart, mind, body and soul. We Have not loved our neighbors as ourself. Accept our prayers of repentance oh God.

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.

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, we know that it is easy to say that we trust and follow You when it requires very little of us. If all that faithfulness required was going to church or dropping some money in a collection plate, we could get behind that. But when we learn that You require all of us, all of our heart, our affection, our trust, our time, our works, we draw the line. We choose to give other things that should be given to You and still claim to love You. Forgive us for having misaligned priorities and devotion.
