CENTERING PRAYER
God of salvation, our lord entered his passion to raise us to life. In the holiest of weeks, help us to walk the way of the cross, that we may be raised in a resurrection like his and dwell forever in you, Eternal God: Father, son, and holy Spirit. Amen

WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Awake to the day of our Savior’s triumph!
Give thanks for this day that leads to the cross!
Come with your branches, hosannas, and songs!
Fill the air with welcome to the Lord!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
† HYMN “All Glory, Laud, and Honor” Hymnal #196
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord Jesus Christ, how well you know our hearts,
And still you love us – you have loved us to the end.
We have denied you,
And we have denied our calling to serve one another.
We have betrayed you
ASSURANCE OF GRACE
† SHARING THE PEACE OF CHRIST
The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you.
SCRIPTURE Mark 11:1-11
SERMON “Why Are You Doing This?” Rev. Dr. Dave Burgess
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of the saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
OFFERING
Jesus gave himself for the life of the world. With humble hearts bowed in awe, let us offer ourselves and our gifts to God. Please pray with me.
Holy God, we give thanks for your saving love made known to us in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Bless these gifts that that they may bring life on earth as in heaven; in Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
