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!

*HYMN: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” # 475
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, we confess today that we have fallen short of Your demands of our life and obedience every single day. We don’t love You, and we don’t love others as we should. We allow the stresses in our lives to act as excuses to do the things we know are wrong. You set us free from sin and yet we fight so hard when you call us out of it. Out of your great love and patience, forgive us of these sins and the sin that we don’t see yet we realize runs deep within who we are. Have mercy on us as we confess our sin individually.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Choir Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: We come to worship today as people who know they are sinners. Walking in the light reveals all the darkness that we wish we could hide. What hope then do we have? What then can wash away our sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O what a joy it is to know that there is no sin too great, no unrighteousness too deeply rooted that the blood of the Lamb cannot clean. Praise God for His faithfulness. Let us worship God today. Our shield, our glory, and the lifter of our heads! INVOCATION
*HYMN: We Three Kings of Orient Are” # 151
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, when we consider how deeply rooted our sin is, and how short we have fallen there is not a time in our memory that we can escape the reality of who we are. We sinned when we were young, when we were young adults, and we will sin still as we grow old. Try as we may to do otherwise, we cannot avoid that this is part of who we are as fallen human beings, and the shame that comes from this sin is often so great that we would rather hide from it and pretend that it isn’t there. Remind us again of the forgiveness that we find through the blood of Your Son. As we confess our sin, hear us and have mercy on us. Ease us of our guilt. Root us in the confidence of Your great love and patience. We pray this in the name of Your Son, AMEN Time of silent prayer.

On that night, lying in a manger was the brightest light that ever shone. Wrapped in swaddling clothes laid all of our hope and joy. Praise be to God that when we think of that baby in Bethlehem thousands of years ago, we see the hope of all God’s people made complete and all of God’s promises fulfilled. Let us worship our God who is worthy of every praise from generation to generation. INVOCATION *HYMN: “O Come, All Ye Faithful” # 133
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord Jesus Christ, at Your birth the angels gave glory to God in the highest heaven and offered peace on earth to all humankind. We struggle to follow the heavenly host. All too often we focus on giving glory to ourselves, trying to impress our friends, coworkers, and family. We make no move to further peace in our polarized world; we forget that You have called us to be ambassadors of reconciliation.

Prelude ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP: from Psalm 37 Do not be envious of those who do wrong and are evil; Like the grass and green plants, they will soon wither. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Commit your way to the Lord and trust in Him. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; Do not fret—it only leads to evil. Those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. The Lord laughs at the wicked and loves the just. INVOCATION

*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Lord, I want to be a Christian inna my heart, inna my heart. Yet too often I love myself too much. I care about what affects me more than I care for my neighbor, my brother, my sister. I am interested in what value I receive from my efforts rather than what value my efforts give. Forgive my sin. Forgive my selfishness. Forgive my lack of effort in telling others about Your love, Your hope, Your forgiveness. Allow me to “Taste and See that the Lord is good” again.
