4 Prayer of the Day L: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. L: Let us Pray Holy God, In this season of contemplation, help us to recognize and know the one true king, Jesus Christ. We worship and praise him for his majesty and glory. C: Amen. (Please be seated) THE WORD Children s Sermon Reading Psalm 146 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! 2I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God all my life long. 3Do not put your trust in princes, in mortals, in whom there is no help. 4When their breath departs, they return to the earth; on that very day their plans perish. 5Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God, 6who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever; 7who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; 8the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. 9The LORD watches over the strangers; he upholds the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. 10The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD! 4

5 Musical Meditation 8:00 How Beautiful Twila Paris 11:00 No Time arr. Susan Brumfield (please stand as you are able for the Gospel Acclamation and reading of the Gospel) Gospel Acclamation Reader: The Holy Gospel according to Saint John, the nineteenth chapter. C: Glory to you, O Lord. Gospel John 19:1-16a Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they dressed him in a purple robe. 3 They kept coming up to him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and striking him on the face. 4 Pilate went out again and said to them, "Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him." 5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Here is the man!" 6 When the chief priests and the police saw him, they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him." 7 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God." 8Now when Pilate heard this, he was more afraid than ever. 9 He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus 5

6 gave him no answer. 10 Pilate therefore said to him, "Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?" 11 Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin." 12 From then on Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you are no friend of the emperor. Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor." 13When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge's bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, "Here is your King!" 15 They cried out, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but the emperor." 16 Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. Reader: The Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise to you, O Christ. Sermon Silence for meditation (Please stand as you are able for the Hymn of the Day) Pastor Bill 6

7 Hymn of the Day Jesus is a Rock in a Weary Land Rite of Holy Baptism (11:00 see insert) 7

8 Apostle s Creed (8:00) I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen Prayers of Intercession P: Lord in your mercy, C: hear our prayer. Sharing of the Peace P: The peace of the Lord be with you always. C: And also with you.
