Prayer of Adoration
God of all people and all places, God in all situations and every time: you are the light of the minds that know you; you are the strength of those who serve you; you are the welcome and rest of those who go in search of you. We come this day and pause from our work and responsibilities; we rest from our play and preoccupations to listen for your voice, to follow your story, and worship you as the Creator, Christ, and Spirit.Prayer of Confession
Hear us now as we speak to you about the truth of our lives: God of courage and compassion, we confess that we prefer the comfort of darkness to the light of your truth; we follow our own ways rather than the path Jesus took. We do what is easy rather than what is right, assuring ourselves and each other we’ve made the right choice. Forgive our fleeting enthusiasm for your purposes and our shallow commitment to put our faith into practice. Forgive us, O God, and help us pay attention to the costly choices Jesus made for us as he moved toward the Cross.Assurance of Pardon
Who is in a position to condemn us? Only Christ – and Christ died for us; Christ rose for us, Christ reigns in power for us, Christ prays for us. Friends, hear and believe the good news of the gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and set free by God’s generous grace.Prayer for Understanding
God of all wisdom and knowledge, in the reading and hearing of your Word, help us know you more clearly so that we may love you more dearly. In loving you more dearly, help us follow you more nearly, day by day. In Jesus name we pray.Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

Hymn #89: Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Reading Matthew 21:1-11
1When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying
to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will
find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to
me. 3If anyone says anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” 4This took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion,
Look, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
