1 Service of Worship Palm and Passion Sunday March 24, 2013 Eleven o clock in the morning Keeping the heart of the University listening to the heart of God The Entry into Jerusalem, by the Limbourg Brothers, before Our service begins with a procession of the palms to recall the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The palms we wave reflect the fragility of the celebration since a mere five days later, the crowd s adulation turns to hatred. In Philippians we read Paul s account of Jesus ministry. Paul sums up the humiliation and the glory of Jesus that we honor this week. The gospel narrative is a retelling of the passion of Christ, drawing primarily from the gospel of Matthew.

2 At the close of today s service, the Lord s Supper will be celebrated in the Memorial Chapel located to the left of the chancel. Immediately following the Lord s Supper, a service of prayer for healing will also be held. The service consists of prayers for healing and wholeness, with anointing and laying on of hands. All are invited. Gathering Carillon Prelude Improvisation on ellacombe Prelude on winchester new Improvisation on st. theodulph Prelude on the king s majesty Roy Hamlin Johnson (b. 1929) Milford H.
