Call to Worship
One: People of God, do not be afraid, for your Savior is coming,
Many: riding on a donkey, daring to raise the branches of liberation.
One: Shout your hosannas in the street and in the sanctuary.
Many: Hosanna in the highest! Our Savior has come to set us free!
One: Palm branches and praise mark this day with hope.
Many: Hosanna, come and save us!

Prayers of the People and 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 debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.
*Hymn: #178 (Songs of Spirit) “All Glory, Laud and Honor”
*Benediction
*Musical Benediction #334 (Songs of Spirit), Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name, verse 2
Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way;
With thee began, with thee shall end the day;
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon thy name.
Postlude: solo organ, Hal
