                                            ORDER FOR WORSHIP

PRELUDE      

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS                        Rev. Dr. Seth Thomas

*CALL TO WORSHIP                                                                           Jessica Parks
What will we lay down as Christ passes by?
We have no cloaks today,
but we will lay down
our hearts, our hopes, and our lives.

As the crowds in Jerusalem cried out long ago,
we echo,
Hosanna! Save us! Blessed is the One
who comes in the name of the Lord!

*HYMN OF INVITATION                       “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna” – GTG 197

CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Christ our Redeemer,
  try as we might,
  we do not follow your example.
We do not empty ourselves,
  we do not humble ourselves,
  we are not obedient.
You simply ask us to care about
  this world you created,
  but we fail to do even that.
Forgive us.
You have given us the greatest,
  clearest example of love.
Heal us, and help us to follow.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S GRACE

*THE PEACE
The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
And also with you.
