Prelude: Ron Dobscha
ANNOUNCEMENTS; CALL TO WORSHIP: (Psalm 16) O God in You we take our refuge! You are our safety, in Your loving embrace we find all our needs met and our hopes are born. You are our Lord, apart from You we have no good things! Those who chase after other gods, who look to anything other than You have not known the peace that our God brings. We could have all the riches in the world and still it is You that is our portion and our cup! You make known to us the path of life. You fill us with joy in Your presence. Praise God today for His wonderful deeds!

We confess all hidden sins to You now. Cleanse us thoroughly from all unrighteousness. Forgive our considerations of wickedness and free us to live each day in sincerity and truth.

* PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
O King of Glory, we confess that our praise of Your majesty has often been faint, our performance as citizens of Your kingdom, treasonous. For we have surrendered to the enemy by our secret and our known sins. For our treason You died, Lord Jesus. For our restoration, You rose again. Draw us closer to You in this Holy Week, that our eyes may catch the vision of Your tears, and our hearts, the wonder of Your grace. By the Holy Spirit’s continuing discipline, let us be loyal and loving servants of the King. Praise be to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Gathering Around the Word
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!
