ALL: We will give You thanks, for You have answered us; You have become our salvation. ONE: The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. ALL: This is the Lord s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. ONE: This is the day that the Lord has made; ALL: We will rejoice and be glad in it. THE OPENING PRAYER... Brenda Brown, Liturgist THE HYMN NO. 196: All Glory, Laud and Honor... VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN THE CALL TO CONFESSION THE PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Spoken in Unison) Strong Savior, we join voices in praise to you, gladly proclaiming you as our King. Yet we have not followed your rule. We seek more to fulfill our own desires than to accomplish your will, we strive more to extend our influence than to seek your kingdom. Forgive us for saying one thing, while living another. Help us by your Spirit to walk in your way of the cross, so that we would love God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves. Amen.

THE PASSING OF THE PEACE (Spoken Responsively) LEADER: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. PEOPLE: And also with you. (Children in K-5 are dismissed to go to Children s Church) THE CHORAL ANTHEM: One Thousand Hosannas... Joel Raney The Sanctuary Choir ~ The Word of the Lord ~ THE PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION... Brenda Brown, Liturgist THE FIRST SCRIPTURE LESSON: Matthew 21: Brenda Brown, Liturgist When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying 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. If anyone

4 says anything to you, just say this, The Lord needs them. And he will send them immediately. This took place to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet, saying, 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. The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The 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! When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, Who is this? The crowds were saying, This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee. THE CHORAL ANTHEM: Behold the Lamb... David T. Clydesdale The Sanctuary Choir THE SECOND SCRIPTURE LESSON: Philippians 2: The Rev. Dr. Jody Moore Let 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. LEADER: This is the Word of the Lord. PEOPLE: Thanks be to God. THE SERMON: "Celebrating our Humbled Lord"... The Rev. Dr. Jody Moore ~ We Respond to the Word ~ THE HYMN NO. 198: Ride On! Ride On in Majesty... arr. Mallory THE AFFIRMATION OF FAITH (Spoken in Unison).. Excerpts From A Brief Statement of Faith, Ch. 4.3 Jesus was God in the flesh. Jesus overthrew evil powers that enslaved and degraded people, yet he made no use of power to protect himself. He healed those who were sick in body and mind, yet he did not avoid pain and suffering for himself. He commanded his followers to place loyalty to him above loyalty to family and country, yet he lived among them as a servant. Jesus taught with authority, challenging many time-honored customs and ideas, yet he submitted to humiliation and death without a word on his own behalf. THE PASTORAL PRAYER & THE LORD'S PRAYER (Spoken in Unison) Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen. THE OFFERING OF GIFTS... Jean Basnight, Greeting Elder THE PIANO/ORGAN OFFERTORY: God So Loved the World... arr. Smith/Hustad Jason Evans & Cheryl Needham THE DOXOLOGY NO OLD HUNDREDTH Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

5 THE PRAYER OF DEDICATION... Jean Basnight, Greeting Elder ~ We Go Forth in Jesus Name ~ THE HYMN OF SENDING NO. 223: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross... arr. Mallory THE CHARGE & BENEDICTION THE CLOSING RESPONSE: "At the Name of Jesus... Cindy Berry The Sanctuary Choir & Congregation At the name of Jesus, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow in heaven and in earth. At the name of Jesus, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow in heaven and in earth. That every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! That every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! At the name of Jesus! At the name of Jesus! THE ORGAN POSTLUDE: Festive Trumpet Tune...

Maundy Thursday Service The night before Jesus was crucified, He shared fellowship and a Passover meal with His disciples and then Instituted the first Lord s Supper with the words, Do This in Remembrance of Me.

The entire evening will be held in the Fellowship Hall starting with a gathering and greeting time, followed by a home cooked meal, a time of worship and and ending with the celebration of the Lord s Supper.
