Call to Worship

Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem.

Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the

name of the Lord!

The people laid down their garments and praised God.

Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the

name of the Lord!

If the people keep quiet, even the stones will cry out.

Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the

name of the Lord!

*Hymn #88 All Glory, Laud, and Honor Valet will ich dir geben

*Prayer of Confession

Merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you.

The lips that sing “Hosanna!”

are the same that shout “Crucify!”

The hands that wave palm branches

are the same that prepare your cross.

Forgive us, God of grace.

Look upon us with mercy – our lives are in your hands.

Save us, by your steadfast love;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(prayer continues)

*Kyrie Eleison

*Declaration of Forgiveness

*The Peace

The Peace of Christ be with you.

And also with you.

Eternal God, quiet within us all mortal voices, that through the story

same mind that was in Christ Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Let Israel now declare, God’s mercy endures forever.

The Lord is my strength and my song and has become my salvation. (R)

Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them and give thanks to the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord; Here the righteous may enter.

I give thanks to you, for you have answered me and you have become my salvation. (R)

The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

By the Lord has this been done; It is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (R)

Hosanna! O Lord save us! We pray to you, Lord, prosper our days!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;

We bless you from the house of the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for the Lord is good;

God’s mercy endures forever. (R)

deeply.

reflection, and dialogue. Through this story-based

approach, students find meaning and identity in the

biblical narrative.
