Prelude Ron Dobscha Announcements CALL TO WORSHIP: Jesus comes to take away our sins. He removes it, removes our love for it and causes us to love Him. Jesus is what we were not. He is our help when we are at our weakest. Even when we falter, He upholds us. What a friend and advocate we have in Jesus. Come and worship Him for He alone is worthy. INVOCATION
* HYMN “Because You Live, O Christ” # 249
* PRAYER OF CONFESSION; Heavenly Father, as adopted people You call us to righteousness You make it clear that people transformed by Your grace are to renounce the ways of sin and to live like You. We know this and it is still a hard and long process. Turning from sin is not easy and we fall for the same temptations over and over. We do not bear the fruit that redeemed people ought to. We do not practice righteousness; we do not love our neighbors. Knowing that we are still, even today sinful, we look to our Helper and Advocate for help. Remember Jesus’ righteousness and not our unrighteousness. Forgive us according to His mercy and not our stubbornness. Prepare us as people restored to You and ready to give our lives in obedience. Amen * Time of silent prayer *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri (Hymnal page 581) *Passing the Peace The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also, with you.

Prelude: Pam Stewart Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: Our God has lavished on us such great love. When we were content with being children of the world, our God adopted us and made us His own. We do not know the fullness of the glory that awaits those in Christ. But we are satisfied and anticipating that when we see our Savior’s face, we will be like Him! God finds us in our lowly state but does not leave us there. He purifies us, changes us, and redirects our lives to Him. Praise God for His saving work and sanctifying work in us. Let us gather today and worship Him. INVOCATION
*Hymn: “O Christ, The Great Foundation” # 361
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, even though we are people of the world, You call us to live in the reality of a new kingdom ushered in by Your Son. We are born, prone to the influence of the world around us but You tell us that we must be born again by Your Spirit. Every day we see and hear the Spirit leading us and transforming us and yet, we are still often resistant. Like a rebellious child, we resist the work of our Father. Forgive us Lord, for the ways we hold onto our old lives before Christ. Forgive us for ignoring and complaining about the methods you use to make us holy. From the mercy we receive, create in us a deeper sense of obedience and set our eyes on the promise of being made fully anew in the presence of Your Son. Amen. *Time of Silent Prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri #581 Passing of the peace The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. And also with you.

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.

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.
