WELCOME HYMN PLEASE STAND How Deep the Father s Love For Us How deep the Father s love for us How vast beyond all measure That He should give His only Son To make a wretch His treasure How great the pain of searing loss The Father turns His face away As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory Behold the man upon a cross My sin upon His shoulders Ashamed I hear my mocking voice Call out among the scoffers It was my sin that held Him there Until it was accomplished His dying breath has brought me life I know that it is finished I will not boast in anything No gifts no power no wisdom But I will boast in Jesus Christ His death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward I cannot give an answer But this I know with all my heart His wounds have paid my ransom Horsley Townend 3

4 SCRIPTURE READING Mark 15: Chris Diaz They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take. It was nine o clock in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him read, The King of the Jews. And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross! In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe. Those who were crucified with him also taunted him. When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani? which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, Listen, he is calling for Elijah. And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down. Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, Truly this man was God s Son!. SERMON Why Did Jesus Have to Die? The Rev. Lorraine Hill PRESENTATION OF OURSELVES We invite you to come forward to the cross and place the nail you have been given into the bucket at the foot of the cross. This symbolizes the forgiveness of your sins through the crucifixion.

Sanctuary Choir They crucified my Lord, and he never said a mumbalin word; they crucified my Lord, and he never said a mumbalin word. Not a word, not a word, not a word. They nailed him to a tree, and he never said a mumbalin word; they nailed him to a tree, they pierced him in the side, and he never said a mumbalin word; they pierced him in the side, the blood came trickalin down, and he never said a mumbalin word; the blood came trickalin down, he bowed his head and died, and he never said a mumbalin word; he bowed his head and died, and he never said a mumbalin word.
