Introit Hosanna! Hosanna! Cathy Townley
Chancel Choir- Gary Everts, baritone arr. Gary Everts
*Call to Worship Nancy Roberts , Liturgist
Leader: On this day, Jesus marched in between the city walls and the Temple
All: He marched in between joyful Hosannas and doubtful whispers,
Leader: in between oppressive poverty and greedy power,
All: in between rampant fear and hope unfurled.
Leader: On this day, Jesus marched in between what had been and what could be.
All: So may we meet Christ in that space. May we lay down our coats in that messy middle.
Leader: Hosanna in the highest!
All: Hosanna in between!
*Call to Confession
*Prayer of Confession
Great Creator, forgive me when I speak before listening, when I speak over my neighbor, when I speak with barbed words. Creator God, forgive me when I listen to society, when I listen to my friends, when I listen to the news, but I do not listen to you.
Creator God, forgive me when I shout out, but do not shout your name, when I listen, but do not listen for your voice. Forgive me.
Create in me a heart like yours. Amen.
*Words of Forgiveness Pastor Lori
Passing the Peace of Christ
The peace of Christ be with you… And also with you… Please share the peace of Christ with those around you.
*Opening Hymn Hosanna, Loud Hosanna UMH #278
1. Hosanna, loud hosanna,
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.
2. From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victor palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.
3. "Hosanna in the highest!"
that ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven our King.
O may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice!
Old Testament Reading Isaiah 50:4-9a Nancy Roberts, Liturgist
Affirmation of Faith Nancy Roberts ,Liturgist
We believe that many years ago a peaceful parade wove its way through the streets of Jerusalem.
We believe that on that day the people cried out, longing and praying for a better world.
We believe that these longings came from a place of deep hope, and we believe that hope cannot be silenced.
So we listen for the Spirit. We sing Hosanna. We pay attention. For in between the silence and the song, we believe the Spirit is speaking. Amen.
Choral Anthem Hosanna to Our King! Lloyd Larson
Chancel Choir

*Doxology UMH #95
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise God, all creatures here below.
Praise God above, ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
*Prayer of Thanksgiving
Holy God, we shout “Hosanna” along with the crowd. “Save us! We beseech thee.” And somehow, this chance we have to give our money is a blessing of your salvation, a way to share our love with you, a way to escape the self-focus that threatens to consume our lives. So open our hearts. Open our minds. Open our hands. Accept our gifts, O God, we pray. Amen.
Sharing of Joys and Concerns
Pastoral Prayer & The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
*Closing Hymn All Glory, Laud, and Honor UMH #280
Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honor,
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
1. Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and Blessed One. [Refrain]
2. The company of angels
are praising thee on high,
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply. [Refrain]
3. The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went;
our prayer and praise and anthems
before thee we present. [Refrain]
4. To thee, before thy passion,
they sang their hymns of praise;
to thee, now high exalted,
our melody we raise. [Refrain]
5. Thou didst accept their praises;
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King. [Refrain]
