Sunday is Here
Proclamation of the Entrance Matthew
21:1-11
*Call to Worship
Jesus calls you to give…
Give up my horse, are you crazy?! I don't
even know you!
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back."
Give up my cup of coffee in the morning to
feed an orphan?! Absurd!
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back."
Give up ten minutes of my day to pray?! I
don’t have enough time for that!
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back."
You want me to give HOW much money to the
church?! I can’t afford that!
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back."
You expect me to get more involved in
ministry? Do you know how many other commitments I have?
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back."
"For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son..."
God gave us our resources. God gave us our
time.
"The Lord needs it and will send it
back." Today,
we give!
*Hymn “Hosanna Loud Hosanna” #278
*Opening Prayer
As
the people spread their coats palm branches on the ground to welcome Jesus into
Jerusalem, so we welcome him into our lives this morning. King of Glory, King
of Peace, Servant King, reign in our hearts and lives this day and all days,
that we might praise your holy name.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord!
Hosanna in the highest!
Amen.
