Amen.\n\n\n\nA reading from the Gospel according to Mark 11:1-11           Read By J. Endress\n\n\n\nWhen they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.\n\n\n\nThe Blessing and Distribution of the Palms\n\n\n\nCelebrant: The Lord be with you.People: And also with you.Celebrant: Lift up your hearts.People: We lift them to the Lord.Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.People: It is right to give God thanks and praise.\n\n\n\nIt is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.\n\n\n\nBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.\n\n\n\nProcessional “All glory, laud and honor” Hymnal 154\n\n\n\nRefrain: All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.\n\n\n\n1 Thou art the king of Israel, thou David’s royal Son,who in the Lord’s Name comest, the King and Blessed One.\n\n\n\nRepeat Refrain\n\n\n\n4 To thee before thy passion they sang their hymns of praise;to thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.\n\n\n\nRepeat Refrain\n\n\n\nPriest: Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins.People: His mercy endures forever.Celebrant: Let us pray.\n\n\n\nAlmighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen\n\n\n\nThe Liturgy of the Word\n\n\n\nFirst Reading: Isaiah 50:4-9a Read by: J. Endress\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens–wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?\n\n\n\nReader: The Word of the Lord.People: Thanks be to God.\n\n\n\nA period of silence is kept\n\n\n\nPsalm 31:9-16\n\n\n\n9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; *my eye is consumed with sorrow,and also my throat and my belly.\n\n\n\n10 For my life is wasted with grief,and my years with sighing; *my strength fails me because of affliction,and my bones are consumed.\n\n\n\n11 I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors,a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *when they see me in the street they avoid me.\n\n\n\n12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *I am as useless as a broken pot.\n\n\n\n13 For I have heard the whispering of the crowd;fear is all around; *they put their heads together against me;they plot to take my life.\n\n\n\n14 But as for me, I have trusted in you, O Lord. *I have said, “You are my God.\n\n\n\n15 My times are in your hand; *rescue me from the hand of my enemies,and from those who persecute me.\n\n\n\n16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, *and in your loving-kindness save me.”\n\n\n\nA period of silence is kept\n\n\n\nSecond Reading: Philippians 2:5-11 Read by: J. Endress\n\n\n\nLet the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death–even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.\n\n\n\nSequence Hymn “Ah holy Jesus” Hymnal 158 vs. 1 & 3\n\n\n\n1 Ah, holy Jesus, how dast thou offended,that man to judge thee hath in hate pretended?By foes derided, by thine own rejected,O most afflicted.\n\n\n\n3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered;the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered;for our atonement, while we nothing heeded,God interceded.\n\n\n\nThe Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark (Narrative reading)\n\n\n\nHomily by The Rev. Elizabeth Ewing\n\n\n\nPrayers of the People\n\n\n\nLeader: Crucified KingPeople: Have mercy on us\n\n\n\nThe Confession\n\n\n\nDeacon:Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.\n\n\n\nAll:Almighty and most merciful father,we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep,we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts,we have offended against thy holy laws,we have left undone those things which we ought to have done,and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us,spare thou those who confess their faults,restore thou those who are penitent,according to thy promises declared unto mankindin Christ Jesus our Lord;and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life,to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.\n\n\n\nThe Peace \n\n\n\nPriest: The peace of the Lord be always with youPeople: And also with you.\n\n\n\nHoly Communion\n\n\n\nKnow that whoever you are, wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith there is a place for you.
