PRELUDE “My Savior’s Love” LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES *OPENING HYMN “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” #278 CALL TO WORSHIP: Give thanks to the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! For God is good. Hosanna in the highest! Christ’s steadfast love remains forever. Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! FIRST SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 11:1-11 HYMN “Tell Me the Stories of Jesus” #277 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: We love parades! We love the excitement, the colors, the noise! Today we celebrate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. His followers have stripped branches from the trees and wave them in the air. They have thrown their cloaks in the path of the donkey that his steps might be cushioned. And the scene is wonderful! But there is a reality here. The reality is that although we wave our branches and shout "Hosanna!", we have not always behaved as disciples. Too often we have wandered from the path of Christ and stumbled along on our own, believing our way to be superior. We have turned from those who have needed help, because it wasn’t convenient for us to be of help of service. We have done and said things that are not worthy of disciples. Yet, here we stand, in the parade route, waving our branches. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to turn our lives around and truly serve you. Help us to really mean "Hosanna! Blessed is the One who comes in the Name of the Lord!" And as we are led to the table of forgiveness and to the cross, help us to realize the power of your love through the gift of Jesus Christ. Make that love a transforming agent in our lives so that, finally, our celebration may truly reflect our faith and joy in Jesus Christ. AMEN.

HYMN “Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome” AFFIRMATION OF FAITH We affirm the life-giving, renewing work of Jesus Christ on our behalf. In Christ the past is past. It is gone. It no longer determines who we are or who we can become. Christ took care of all that so that we may look to him for our identity and hope. We are reconciled to God through Christ. We are made new creatures. We receive the promise of God's daily presence and mercy. We are God's children! We affirm our choice to live as those whose inheritance is sure, whose joy is secure, and whose present and future are held in the loving hands of our gracious Lord and Savior.
